Street Soccer is a sport for change charity using the power of football to create lasting change in the lives of disadvantaged and excluded people across the country.
Thanks to supporters like you, we can build connection and create opportunities for people who are on the fringes of society. We bring them into our team and the Street Soccer Family to make sure no one is left behind.
Street Soccer run vital football and support programmes across the UK which provide person-centred support to players experiencing any challenges in their lives.
Our players have often experienced mental health issues, homelessness, criminal justice involvement, problem substance use, trauma, disadvantage and are seeking asylum.
It isn't all about Football. A huge proportion off our support comprises emotional support, specialist mental health provision, accredited education, practical support, signposting and much more. We provide wrap around support to every player, focusing on them as a whole rather than on any one specific challenge.
We support people of all ages and backgrounds, and support people for as long as they need. Street Soccer isn't a safety net, it's a safety trampoline bouncing people back to positive change when required.
Positive destinations to us mean any positive changes that a player wants to make, be that employment, housing, education or simply happiness. We work with every player to identify their goals and we support them to achieve them.
Lived experience is at the heart of Street Soccer, with over 70% of our staff having lived experience. We are incredibly proud that many of our staff are former player who have progressed through volunteering into work and now lead front line programmes.
Across the UK we are delivering vital support every week to over 4,500 players.
At a Street Soccer session, everyone is treated as an individual, taken as they are, without judgement or stigma.
