StreetGames
StreetGames, a national sport and anti-poverty charity, working to provide equal opportunities for young people living in Wales’ most deprived communities access to sport/ physical activity, alongside a diverse and skilled network of national organisations engage around 15,000 young people each year through their Doorstep Sport concept – Sport provision delivered at the right time, in the right place, in the right style, by the right people, and at the right price.
Wales Golf and StreetGames formed a partnership in 2015 to provide young people from disadvantaged communities with the opportunity to play golf. The StreetGolf concept was formed and mobilised across the StreetGames network and was well received. With around 70 Doorstep Sport Clubs operating across Wales, working with StreetGames is a great opportunity for clubs to engage a new audience and to provide young people who do not already play golf with a new experience.
