StreetGames are working with the Alliance of Sport in Criminal Justice and the Sport for Development Coalition to deliver a new £5 million fund from the Ministry of Justice, supporting sports programmes aimed at steering young people away from crime.
The Ministry of Justice has identified new funding to invest in sports programmes across England and Wales that effectively deliver against criminal justice outcomes in the financial year to the end of March 2023.
The £5m programme will use sport to enhance positive outcomes for vulnerable young people in the context of youth crime.
The funds will support voluntary and community sports organisations to carry out targeted work supporting children and young people who are at risk of entering the criminal justice system.
