SWITCH: Sport with Inclusion, Training, Community & Health

Swap Scrolls for Goals! SWITCH gets young people off screens and into movement, mentors, and next steps. Each week in the Green Street Neighbourhood, we run multi-sport sessions (including cricket, futsal, boxing, multi-skills, and yoga/strength), a girls-only club led by a female coach, and a monthly development workshop. It’s delivered by professional, qualified coaches who work with youth, and two youth development facilitators, keeping sessions structured, welcoming, and safe. University pre-entry ambassadors participate in workshops to guide young people and open up routes into higher education, as well as pathways into apprenticeships, volunteering, training, work experience, and college, thereby reducing the risk of young people becoming NEET.

Families asked for a local, culturally aware alternative to constant device time and the ‘dead hours’ after school. We already deliver in Newham and are ready to scale. Year one at a glance: 56+ sessions and 12 workshops, about 2,200 attendances by 50+ local young people.

What changes: more active minutes, stronger confidence and a sense of belonging, safer evenings, and 30+ supported moves into education, training, work experience, or university pre-entry.
