CHANGE ANOTHER 100 LIVES USING FOOTBALL

JOB DONE: SCROLL DOWN THE PAGE TO "SUCCESS STORIES" TO FIND OUT MORE

How did you do that?

Street League uses football to turn around 16-25 year old offenders, drug users and NEETs lives (that’s people not in education, employment or training).

They engage young people in weekly footy matches and get together around 100 people for match days to build confidence, explore different paths out of their problems, offer support to get them into education and work.

The power of footy, friendship and regular commitment makes a big difference. 72% of young people helped by Street League have the confidence to go back into employment or education.

What did it cost?

Each match day helps around 100 young people. It costs £500 to hold a Match Day which includes pitch hire, referees, trophies, refreshments and first aid staff.

When will I see the difference?

When we hold our next Match Day on 14th December at Kennington Park in London we'll feedback the highlights of the Match Day, showing you pictures from the tournament, telling you what the players thought of the day and introducing you to the winners. In the meantime scroll down the page to "success stories" to see a world champion football freestyler in action!

 

Tell me more...

Through its structured football programmes, Street League builds the confidence, life skills and relevant qualifications necessary for moving young people into sustainable training, further education and employment.

We use a structured football and education programme to help participants improve their health, extend their social networks and instil a positive outlook. Our progressions service then supports individuals in finding sustainable employment, education or training. Over the last 10 years, Street League has offered more than 22,000 individuals football as a holistic solution to their social challenges.
