StreetGames were delighted to be selected as the flagship Sport & Social Action provider for the Gen22 programme, a Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Legacy programme supporting young people’s development and contribution to communities.
StreetGames supported 100 local young people – many of whom face barriers such as a lack of confidence, being a young carer or young parent, or having a criminal record – to design and deliver social action projects linked to solving local issues. Participants benefited from new transferable skills, increased confidence and self-esteem, improved mental wellbeing, and access to ongoing local opportunities for volunteering and youth action.
