StreetGames, in partnership with @TV_VRU are undertaking a re-audit of all sport, physical activity and wider inclusion activities across Thames Valley aimed at supporting young people may be vulnerable and at risk of exclusion or criminality (1)
It was great to meet Nathan from Whitley ABC last night on behalf of @StreetGames & @TV_VRU. A perfect example of a club working with the right young people, at the right place and at right time. All of which is only possible with the support of passionate and empowering coaches.
Back in the boxing ring last night for the Foundation.
We were delighted to introduce Chelsea Piggot, Sport & Violence Impact Manager from @StreetGames & Dan Gidman, Police Sergeant from the Violence Reduction Unit at @ThamesVP to Nathan Ward who runs Whitley Amateur Boxing Club

What a fantastic best practice event. A room full of passionate and dedicated individuals, from sports deliverers to VRUs, sharing valuable insight into the power of community sport for Youth Justice.
Thank you for your valuable input today, Rob.
Today we're meeting with @StreetGames @SFDCoalition and @AllianceOfSport at @ReadingFC discussing the #youthjusticesportsfund - loads of insights to strengthen our work supporting young people.
Should you take part?
If you deliver sport and activity to young people that;
- are from a low income household
- are vulnerable or are living with trauma
- at risk of exclusion
- are known to the police
- are being criminally exploited
...then YES!

We are deeply saddened to hear of the death of Her Majesty The Queen. Our thoughts are with her family and we will be taking a pause to reflect.
