Who are we?
We are a sport and education charity (number: 1151315) whose aims, and objectives revolve around targeting 11-18 year olds from Croydon and the surrounding boroughs, who are disengaged and/or disadvantaged, engaging approximately 250 young people each week. Focusing on community togetherness and using sport as the hook for participation, we offer free sport sessions regardless of gender, ability, financial situation or ethnicity, which deliver structured, engaging, fun coaching and competition. Using sport to attract and engage with young people, we deliver a wide range of educational services alongside opportunities to improve their employability. Young people are encouraged to speak with one of our dedicated staff, who provide career-guidance and assistance for anyone attending our projects.
