We believe that access to sport and its benefits are a right and not a privilege. But access to sport and physical activity opportunities are not equal for everyone. If you grow up in a low-income, underserved community your opportunities to play sport and be active are either limited or non-existent. To bridge this opportunity gap, we work closely with partners to unlock the multiple benefits that playing sport and being active bring to children and young people living in underserved communities.
The intensifying cost of living crises, coupled with the long tail of impact of the Coronavirus pandemic and lockdown measures are only exacerbating that opportunity gap. Many families are struggling to put food on the table, meaning that paid for sport and physical activity has to fall down their priority list. That is why StreetGames’ model of free-to-access, local Doorstep Sport is more important than ever. It gives young people in underserved communities somewhere to go, something to do, someone to trust and increasingly, something to eat.
This past year has also showcased the remarkable tenacity, dedication, and importance of Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) within the StreetGames network. These organisations continue to be the unsung champions in the struggle to uplift local communities, their unwavering efforts have been channelled into supporting young individuals and their families within the hardest-hit neighbourhoods.
Many of these organisations provide essential support and guidance amid the crisis, working tirelessly to keep their doors open to children and young people to provide sport and physical activity and much-needed wraparound support. These organisations possess an intimate understanding of their communities, with the capability to deliver tailored help where it’s most needed. Throughout these trying times, StreetGames has stood resolutely alongside these extraordinary organisations, we are proud to be the ‘people besides the people’ and will continue providing support to continue their important work.
Safeguarding these Locally Trusted Organisations is central to our mission. Through the ongoing implementation of our long-term strategy and vision, StreetGames remains committed to diversifying our funding avenues, expanding our network, and further building on the fantastic work to sustain our mission to continue to make young people’s lives healthier, safer and more successful.
I extend my gratitude to all StreetGames staff, volunteers, and trustees for their tireless dedication, support, and adaptability over the past year. Whilst we are proud of the many things we have achieved in the past and extremely grateful to the partners and funders who have supported our work, we are not satisfied.
There is much more to do to ensure that every young person living in a low-income, underserved neighbourhood can access the right sporting offer for their needs: year-round, life-enhancing Doorstep Sport.
We look forward to working with new and existing partners to transform young lives through sport.

Strategic Report: Annual Review
Introduction
Since 2007, StreetGames has been working with community organisations across the UK to tackle inequalities and transform young people’s lives through sport.
Our network now totals over 1,600 local community organisations – from sports clubs and community groups to housing associations, leisure trusts and local authorities. These organisations are uniquely placed to support young people in their communities, by offering a safe place with trusted coaches and organisers who know their neighbourhood and the young people who live there. And StreetGames is uniquely placed to support these organisations in that mission, by providing training, tailored advice/support, new insight, opportunities to connect and funding to give community organisations the tools they need to strengthen communities and transform lives through the power of sport. We are the people beside the people who change lives and communities.
Headline Data – 2022-23
StreetGames support to community organisations and young people over the past year has included:
-
Distributing investment to 823 Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) – equating to over £15.5m to support doorstep sport activities
-
Supporting LTOs in the StreetGames network to engage over 122,000 children and young people in Doorstep Sport and holiday activities
-

Doorstep Sport
Doorstep Sport is the beating heart of StreetGames. It is our tried and tested methodology for engaging disadvantaged young people in sport, ensuring that physical activity is delivered in a way that is enjoyable and accessible to young people in the communities we serve. At the core of Doorstep Sport are the ‘five rights’ – ensuring sport is delivered at the right time, in the right place, for the right price, by the right people and in the right style.
The versatility and adaptability of Doorstep Sport is the key to StreetGames’ success in activating young people that others consider hard to reach and allows us to create activities tailor-made to support the needs of young people and their communities. The Doorstep Sport approach can be modified to achieve a wide range of positive impacts in the communities our network serves, including: combating holiday hunger, preventing re-offending, and improving mental health and wellbeing.
Doorstep Sport supports young people to be the best they can be, because it provides more than ‘just an activity session’ – it provides young people with opportunities to:
-
Take part in activities within their local community, connect with others and build a sense of belonging
-
Develop a positive, committed habit in a safe and structured environment
-
Try new sports, improve skills, go to new places, meet new people and broaden horizons
-
Shape and help to lead sessions, take on new challenges and make their voices heard
-
Volunteer, take responsibility, be challenged, receive training, be mentored, and gain new qualifications
-
Benefit from coaches and leaders who act as positive and encouraging role models who expect high standards of behaviour.

Closing the Inequality Gap MIND THE for children and young people GAP through Doorstep Sport
StreetGames core mission is to ‘transform the lives of young people living in low-income, underserved communities through sport and physical activity’. We know that access to sport and physical activity is not equal. This inequality of opportunity is clearly reflected in stubbornly lower levels of participation by children and young people living in low-income, underserved communities. There is no lack of demand for sport and physical activity among children and young people in these communities – the right sporting offer is too often absent. These are the children and young people with most to gain from the benefits of sport and physical activity.
StreetGames-led interventions have enabled thousands of young people living in low-income communities to take part in sport and physical activity within their local community over the past year.
Together Fund
By successfully securing over £200,000 of funding from Sport England’s Together Fund, StreetGames has been able to distribute funding to over 60 LTOs in the network. This in turn, has enabled them to deliver doorstep sport activities for thousands of young people in low-income communities:
-
Salford Community Leisure organised a range of activities, including the Salford Summer Festival, to promote sports opportunities in underprivileged areas. The events aimed to spread positive messages and educate young people about health and wellbeing, while also directing them towards various community services.
-
East African Association based in South London, provided new activity sessions, facilitated trips, and offered wrap-around support for young people facing issues linked to housing and immigration.
StreetGames also provided support and guidance to help LTOs provide their young people with opportunities to celebrate, get involved and feel the ‘ripple effect’ of the major sporting events taking place in the UK during 2022, through provision of: funding to energise local ‘doorstep sport’ delivery, Multi-Sport Activator training for coaches and volunteers, kit and equipment bags to enable LTOs to deliver a range of activities linked to major sporting events and as well as providing tickets (See #Inspiration section).

Summer of Fun
Through funding from the Welsh Government, StreetGames’ Summer of Fun project funded 22 community organisations to deliver high quality Doorstep Sport to young people living in underserved communities in Wales. The activities engaging over 1,600 young people and the funding also enabled StreetGames to host a range of fully funded training opportunities for the LTO network in Wales:
Valley Gymnastics Association (VGA) – for whom, the Summer of Fun funding provided vital resource to sustain provision that had been met with a huge demand of over 40 young people per session. Building on the Winter of Wellbeing approach, VGA embedded youth consultation into this offer, resulting in the young people having accessed a variety of activities including free running, skateboarding, golf, tennis and hula/circus skills. The Doorstep Sport clubs in Caerphilly and St Tydfils enabled young people to be more active, socialise with others and get out of the house after school. The project leader at VGA believed the young people valued the opportunity to try new things and described the feedback they had received as ‘outstanding’. VGA said ‘in terms of learning, these sessions have reinforced the style of delivery and the inclusion of food. We have applied this learning across the organisation and have included free drinks and snacks as far as we possibly can’. They plan to continue their Doorstep Sport sessions and build upon what they have already learnt.
World Cup Partner Support Fund
To celebrate the achievement of Wales qualifying for their first Men’s Football World Cup in 64 years, the Welsh Government made a total of £1.8m available for organisations to support their core objectives for Wales’ participation in the event. These included the promotion of Wales, projecting Wales’ values, and securing a positive and lasting legacy for years to come.
StreetGames successfully attracted £165,000 from this fund, which in turn, enabled us to fund 28 community organisations across Wales to deliver football-led Doorstep Sport activities for young people living in underserved communities. This included six organisations delivering fully inclusive sessions for young people with additional needs.
These 28 organisations delivered weekly sessions to 4,076 young people and have included a range of cultural and educational elements, shining a light on the history of Welsh football, as well as providing the opportunity for young people to learn about footballing history and culture in other participating Men’s World Cup teams:
Treharris Boys & Girls Club set up a girls only social football sessions, that were planned by the young people themselves. The girls planned fun and interactive sessions and incorporated the theme of Wales through singing the national anthem and Yma o Hyd at the beginning of sessions. The sessions were fully inclusive and attracted new members to the club, including those from the LGBTQ+ community who are now volunteering at the club and encouraging more young people to join.

#Inspiration 2022
StreetGames developed the #Inspiration2022 campaign to help connect young people from underserved communities to the wide range of major sporting events taking place on home soil throughout 2022. With events such as the Commonwealth Games, Women’s Euros and the Rugby League World Cup - we wanted to make sure that a sporting ripple effect was felt by everybody, especially those in underserved communities who experience multiple barriers to accessing sport - not just in terms of participation, but also in terms of being able to spectate at elite sporting events.
Our #Inspiration 2022 campaign included providing support to LTOs in the network to deliver activities linked to those taking place at elite levels, through provision of kit, equipment and training as well as opportunities to spectate at events and attend a Summer Camp in Birmingham linked to the Commonwealth Games (see Camp Birmingham section below). In doing so, #Inspiration 2022 enabled more young people from underserved communities to:
-
Attend major sporting events – with over 11,600 tickets being distributed to young people from across the StreetGames network.
-
Experience spectating at a major sporting event for the first time in their lives – with 87% of young people who attended are Birmingham Summer Camp saying that they had never been to spectate at a similar event before.
-
Take part in new sports and activities within their own community, through the provision of: funding, kit-bags, training and resources to deliver new sessions, neighbourhood and large-scale festivals – with 44% of young people who were involved in Together Funded activities saying that they’d been ‘able to try new activities’ and that this had ‘helped them to do more activity’.
-
Gain new volunteer and leadership opportunities – with over 600 young people taking part in StreetGames led empowerment opportunities, including exciting event volunteering opportunities (e.g. at the Great Manchester Run, Copper Box multisport festival, Camp Birmingham and StreetGames Youth Summit).
-
Develop personally, with many taking on volunteering and leadership roles. Including the development of key transferrable skills for future employment, as well as personal skills such as: confidence, independence and communication together with enjoyment and feeling proud to be part of something bigger.
It also provided LTOs with new equipment, resources, training and activation ideas that can continue to be used in the delivery of local doorstep sport beyond 2022.
SERVES
Through a partnership with the LTA, our work on the LTA SERVES programme has engaged 190 community venues, dedicated to bringing tennis to their local communities across England and Wales, ensuring that children and young people who might have otherwise missed out can actively participate in tennis.
In the past year, our achievements have extended to affording more than 150 young people and Activators from over 25 Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) a unique opportunity. They experienced live tennis events, including illustrious occasions like Wimbledon, for the very first time. Additionally, the partnership has equipped 60 venues participating in the Holiday Activity and Food (HAF) initiative with SERVES equipment bags, enabling them to incorporate tennis into their HAF offer and complemented by localised festivals designed to enhance and celebrate these dynamic activities.
Our work also involves contributing to elements of the LTA’s ‘Breaking Down Barriers – For Underserved Lower Socio-Economic Groups’ Plan. This collaborative effort includes initiatives such as the development of tennis-focused ‘community hubs’ and the creation of a tennis community safety framework.

Chance to Shine
In 2022/23 StreetGames continued to build upon a successful four-year partnership with Chance to Shine (CtS) to bring cricket opportunities to young people living in underserved communities.
StreetGames is the only National delivery partner of Chance to Shine and the only non-county cricket board who deliver the Street programme.
Through investment from CtS, we have been able to invest in and support 17 projects across 15 LTOs who collectively delivered 488 streetcricket sessions over the 12-month period engaging over 1,000 young people, many of whom had never played cricket before.
The cricket sessions have proven incredibly popular amongst young people, attracting both male and female participants. The partnership between StreetGames and CtS is having a positive impact on the ground by providing fun, affordable streetcricket sessions on a weekly basis.
StreetGames has also been involved in upskilling CtS coaches who operate within the County Cricket Board structure by providing a series of three-hour training workshops, including: Working with Young People from Underserved Communities, Engaging Women and Girls and Addressing Challenging Behaviour; contributing to a more knowledgeable and skilled workforce.

How Doorstep Sport can deliver wider social outcomes
MIND THE GAP
Healthier
Playing sport and being physically active has many benefits for our physical and mental health. People who exercise regularly have a lower risk of many major illnesses, including heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Being physically active can also improve mood, reduce stress and decrease the chance of depression and anxiety.
Through our core Doorstep Sport approach, innovative, sector-leading programmes and interventions, and strategic partnership working, StreetGames is committed to breaking down barriers and helping more young people to lead healthier, happier lives.
Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme
Research has shown that the school holidays can be pressure points for some families. This can lead to a ‘holiday gap’, with children from low-income households being:
-
less likely to access organised out-of-school activities
-
more likely to experience ‘unhealthy holidays’ in terms of nutrition and physical health
-
more likely to experience social isolation.
To help combat such issues, the DfE launched the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme to support to children in receipt of free school meals through holiday periods.
Page: 11
StreetGames and HAF
To help organisations prepare for the delivery of HAF programmes and maximise opportunities for children and young people eligible for free school meals to access these activities, StreetGames has been providing support via a range of different methods:
-
Undertaking a lead role in coordinating HAF Active, a website dedicated to providing resources and tips on how to deliver HAF programmes.
-
Delivering ‘HAF Readiness’ webinars that were attended by 150+ community organisations.
-
Delivering a presentation for local authority HAF coordinators on behalf of the Department for Education to share learning on re-engaging and working with older teens.
-
Undertaking a lead role in the coordination of the HAF Alliance, a collaboration of national and local charities and not-for-profit organisations with direct, on-the-ground experience of what works in providing Holiday Activities and Food at scale, within local authority areas.
-
Delivering an extensive training programme to support local authorities, partners and Locally Trusted Organisations who are delivering HAF during the school holidays.
-
Developing a Quality Assurance template to support a number of HAF contracts.
StreetGames also provides dedicated support to a number of local authorities, in the co-ordination of their HAF programmes, including in: Birmingham, Lancashire, Newcastle and Derbyshire:
The Birmingham Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme, known locally as ‘Bring it on Brum!’, is designed to address the ‘holiday experience gap’ for children and young people from low-income households. It is the largest HAF programme in the country.
The programme is co-delivered by StreetGames on behalf of Birmingham City Council alongside trusted, local organisations (e.g. schools, community organisations etc.) and delivers a range of activities across the six-week school summer holiday. Over the past year, the Bring it on Brum! programme reached over 52,000 young people and delivered over 252,000 attendances, serving up meals to children and young people across the city as well as providing a wide range of fun, physical activities. These accomplishments were delivered by a citywide network of 386 holiday clubs operating in the heart of local neighbourhoods and staffed by fantastic local coaches and volunteers.
Research undertaken by Northumbria University calculated, that the Social Return on Investment for the Bring It On Brum! programme was £479.28 per child, while for every child deterred from participating in antisocial behaviour and associated crime, there is an approximate investment return of £928.40. The study concluded that the programme ‘created opportunity for learning and development, decreased stress and financial burden for families and individuals, as well as have a profound lasting economic impact’.
Since June 2022 StreetGames has been working as the appointed Programme Management organisation to support Derbyshire County Council in delivering the programme and achieving high-quality outcomes for children and young people.
The programme spans a diverse network of local delivery partners and food suppliers, including: Derbyshire County Council and associated district and borough council services, Rural Action Derbyshire, schools, out-of-school settings providers, the community and voluntary sector and commercial operators and caterers. Together they were commissioned to deliver It’s About Me throughout 2022 and were offered training and support to ensure they delivered to our quality and sustainability standards. Derbyshire’s Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) programme – with a campaign name of ‘It’s About Me’ – is one of the largest and most ambitious programmes in England that seeks to address holiday hunger, inactivity and isolation amongst some of the most vulnerable children and young people in the county. During the year, the programme:
-
Provided 213 holiday clubs
-
Engaged 16,861 young people (73% free school meal attendees)
-
Provided 64,162 meals
-
Trained 203 learners.

Yoga & Mindfulness
Over the past year, StreetGames together with Yoginis Yoga developed a yoga and mindfulness programme, which aimed to enable young women and girls aged between 13-25 years from low-income communities to experience a programme of yoga and mindfulness and in doing so, help them to:
-
Develop skills and coping strategies
-
Improve their overall wellbeing
-
Have increased access to tools for better life outcomes, and
-
Provide a learning and training that would expand local capacity to facilitate yoga and mindfulness.
The programme provided training for over 40 community coaches/leaders, whilst the programme itself included six weeks of 1-hour yoga and mindfulness sessions, together with an initial introduction session and a final celebration/evaluation session for young people. 12 organisations delivered the programme during 2022-23, engaging 220 young people – many of whom shared how positive the sessions had been on their well-being – helping them to relax and navigate stressful times.
Page: 13
Safer
Sport is increasingly seen as having a role in prevention and early intervention work with young people at risk of or already involved in offending behaviour. Sport can:
-
Provide supervised, positive and fun activities
-
Help develop pro-social friendships
-
Provide positive adult role models
-
Provide young people with opportunities to access training, qualifications and achievements
-
Support ‘protective factors’.
The information below provides a selection of our work undertaken over the past year, which has a ‘safer’ focus.
Ministry of Justice: Youth Justice Sport Fund
In November 2022 the Ministry of Justice provided £5 million of funding to enhance positive outcomes for vulnerable young people at-risk of involvement in youth crime.
The Youth Justice Sports Fund (YJSF) programme, which was led by StreetGames in collaboration with the Sport for Development Coalition and Alliance of Sport distributed funding to 220 voluntary and community organisations to carry out targeted work, using sport and sport plus activities (such as: mentoring and opportunities to gain qualifications and volunteer), to support children and young people, aged 10-17, who were at risk of entering the criminal justice system.
The two goals of the programme were to:
-
Support vulnerable young people, aged 10-17, at-risk of involvement in crime, anti-social behaviour and serious violence—understood as those in the secondary tier of need—through involvement in local sporting activities
-
Through capacity building, increase the capability of sport sector delivery organisations to work effectively with their local criminal justice partners, including Youth Justice Services, Police and Police Crime Commissioners (PCC)/ Violence Reduction Unit (VRU) structures. This work focused on building sustainable relationships for the medium to longer term to facilitate potential future access to the new ‘Turnaround’ programme and other funding.
In total, the programme engaged 7,862 young people and generated over 68,000 attendances. 1,002 participants had gained a new qualification by the end of the programme and young people’s engagement in activities also increased during the programme. The external evaluation of the programme highlighted that: “young people themselves as well as project staff have observed positive behaviours including increased self-control and less involvement in getting into trouble. It is also worth noting that a constant theme from the project feedback visits was that young people were engaged and respectful towards other young people and the staff at the sessions. This is significant when considering the high number of formal referrals from schools and other partners where young people were at risk of being excluded or who had been excluded as a result of disruptive behaviour”
The evaluation also shared how: “YJSF programme was delivered successfully despite being ambitious in its aims and timescales. The Consortium approach, and the support offered by StreetGames, were important drivers of this success in terms of developing and delivering a programme which both united and supported LTOs to mobilise quickly and effectively to engage some of the most vulnerable young people in sport and sport-plus projects” .
Bolton Violence Reduction Summer Engagement Programme
StreetGames was commissioned by the Community Safety Partnership to deliver Bolton’s Violence Reduction Summer Engagement Programme. Using a Doorstep Sport / child-first approach meant that vulnerable children and young people were able to develop pro-social behaviours.
Across the summer period over 175 hours of activities were provided, with an average of 29 hours per week which in total, engaged 300 vulnerable young people engaged in a wide range of sport and physical activity, in their local community.
Beth Warrington from Bolton Wanderers in the Community explains, ‘Being able to access funding like this is important for us to deliver sessions over the summer that allows us to engage with local young people who are lacking the structure of school or the support system that school offers.’
Page: 14 StreetGames UK Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
More Successful
Doorstep Sport also provides opportunities for young people to develop personally – through opportunities to try new sports and activities, improve skills, go to new places and meet new people.
In addition, some young people also volunteer and take on leadership roles within the Doorstep Sport setting. Here they gain new experiences, take responsibility, are challenged and have opportunities to receive training, mentoring and gain new qualifications.
Youth empowerment opportunities provided are designed so that young people develop key life and transferrable skills including independence, leadership, teamwork, communication, problem-solving and raising aspirations.
Gen 22
StreetGames was selected as the flagship Sport and Social Action provider for the Gen22 programme, a Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games Legacy programme supporting young people’s development and contribution to communities.
In partnership with 17 LTOs in the network, StreetGames supported 100 local young people – many of whom, had additional vulnerabilities and needs, including: a lack of confidence, being a young carer or young parent, or having a criminal record – to design and deliver social action projects linked to solving local issues – these included: planning and running community events, developing new doorstep sport sessions and leading community clean-up programmes.
The young volunteers collectively completed over 2,900 volunteer hours Participants benefited from new transferable skills, increased confidence and self-esteem, improved mental wellbeing, and access to ongoing local opportunities for volunteering and youth action.
Next Gen
StreetGames’ #NextGen programme helps develop young people into the leaders of tomorrow.
Rooted in 15 years of experience in ‘what works’ when encouraging disadvantaged young people to volunteer and get involved in local social action, #NextGen is designed to provide young people with the tools they need to make a lasting difference to their community, empowering them to make a difference in their local areas, whilst broadening their horizons beyond their neighbourhoods by working with and learning from young people in other areas across the country.
NextGen programmes are tailored to meet local needs, but typically include:
-
A programme of training, delivered locally to where the young people live and chosen by young people
-
Away Days centred around fun and personal development
-
Mentoring opportunities
-
Opportunities to attend national residentials for young people from across the UK to stay away, work and socialise together while completing training and challenges (and having fun)
-
Local delivery – where young people volunteer regularly at LTO sessions – putting into practice their training and leadership skills
-
Delivery of a social action project.
Over the past year, #NextGen programmes have taken part across a number of areas, including in: Sheffield, Bradford, London and Kent and supported hundreds of young people to grow and develop.
NextGen programmes also give young people the chance to participate national ambassador opportunities – representing StreetGames and their own communities. For example, over the past year, some young volunteers have gone on to address audiences in the Houses of Parliament, lead sessions in online conferences, and even represent StreetGames at the Royal Garden Party.

Peer Action Collective (Peer Researchers)
Through funding from the Youth Endowment Fund, StreetGames led a Peer Action Collective in the East Midlands. The programme enabled StreetGames together with five LTOs, to support and train 12 young people to take on Peer Researcher roles within their local community to explore key issues related to youth crime and violence.
The Peer Researchers undertook research with 480 of their peers and then worked with 150 change makers to develop innovative and engaging social action projects aimed at addressing some of the issues identified by the research – including developing: Informative music videos, creating a photography and social media project, planning and running community engagement events and sports tournaments and cleaning and refurbishing a run-down multi-use games area.
Camp Birmingham
The 2022 StreetGames ran a Summer Camp at Blackwell Adventure Centre, Bromsgrove between Thursday 28th July - Monday 8th August 2022 to link with the Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games.
The event was designed and led by a team of 14 StreetGames Young Advisors who led activity at the camp, they were in turn supported by four ex-Young Advisors who joined as temporary staff for the fortnight to act as mentors to the new Young Advisors.
The Summer Camp provided a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for 400 young people and LTO leaders to attend the Commonwealth Games in person and watch inspirational athletes perform. Alongside this, attendees met other young people from across the UK, experienced camping and challenged themselves with outdoor adventure activities. To support personal development, there was also the opportunity to take part in team activities and sports tournaments, where they learnt skills to support Doorstep Sport activities back in their local community.
Street Games Youth Summit
In October 2022, StreetGames hosted a Youth Summit for over 100 young people from across the Midlands at Edgbaston Stadium – providing opportunities to network, have their voices heard and develop new skills to shape their future.
Throughout the day, attendees took part in different facilitated activities, planned by a team of StreetGames Young Advisors, including discussing issues related to: the cost of living, wellbeing, belonging, social media, and participation in physical activity.
The day culminated in the StreetGames Inspiration 2022 National Awards, which lived up to the billing and really inspired the young people who attended the Youth Summit.

Trustees’ Annual Report
for the Year Ended 31 March 2023
----- End of picture text -----
The trustees present their annual report together with the consolidated financial statements of the charity and its subsidiary for the year ended 31 March 2023. These are also prepared to meet the requirements for a directors’ report and accounts for Companies Act purposes. Information set out on pages 4-26 form part of this report.
TThe trustees review the aims, objectives and activities of the charity each year. This report (including the information set out on pages 4-26) looks at what the charity has achieved and the outcomes of its work in the reporting period.
In shaping our objectives for this year and planning our activities, the trustees have considered the Charity Commission’s guidance on public benefit. All our charitable activities focus on providing increased opportunities for those living in underserved communities and are undertaken to further our charitable purposes. Our purpose is to mobilise the power of sport and physical activity to improve the lives of disadvantaged children and young people and the communities they live in. We seek to support the community sport infrastructure in underserved communities so it is fit-for-purpose, healthy, funded, accountable and representative.
The Charity operates a ‘balanced scorecard’ approach to performance management, with a range of key performance indicators assessing delivery of our objectives across four perspectives:
-
Stakeholder relationships – maintaining high quality relationships with partner LTOs, funders and beneficiaries
-
Learning and Growth - having the right culture and capacity for growth, resting on the continued indepth knowledge and expertise of our staff and the reach of our high quality research and insight.
-
Internal processes – ensuring high quality operational and governance arrangements so we both have the confidence of funders and are in a position to effectively deliver services.
-
Financial performance – achievement of fundraising targets and delivering financial sustainability
Performance against each of these is reviewed by the Board on a quarterly basis.
The strategies we use to harness the power of sport to deliver against our objects; and performance against our key performance indicators are set out in the programme of activities reported in this Trustees’ Report (pages 5-14).
Equality, diversity and inclusion have resonance in two important areas for StreetGames – as an employer and as a charity whose core purpose is to deliver equality of opportunity for our beneficiaries. As a charity which spans the sport and youth sectors we acknowledge a responsibility to advocate on behalf of those doing this well and influence those who aren’t. We understand our role as a charity working on equality of access for young people from lower socio-economic groups to mean we have a responsibility not to be silent about any equality, diversity and inclusion injustice we see and to role-model organisational approaches to equality, diversity and inclusion.
In this work, we have two fields of influence. Firstly, with Locally Trusted Organisations (LTOs) who affiliate with us and align with our mission. Secondly, as a national body representing a large part of the community sport sector and speaking as the voice of underserved communities.
At StreetGames we don’t ask for full monitoring data across all of our programmes, but based on responses received from 19,405 participants across a variety of programmes during 2022/3, 34% came from ethnically diverse backgrounds, 5.6% had a disability and 33% were female. 63% of participants lived in the 30% most deprived areas (bottom 30% IMD).
As an employer we strive to be a positive place for staff and contractors to be their whole selves. This requires us to proactively review our procedures, policies and activities to ensure we are doing all we can to provide positive space. In addition, we have a responsibility to be open and honest about our experiences as an employer – to share our successes and our challenges.

We will set goals for our work, publish them and report against them. StreetGames systematically collects information regarding all of the protected characteristics as set out in the Equality Act 2010 from our Board, staff, partners and projects on a voluntary basis. We do this in order to accurately assess the make-up of the organisation and service and, where appropriate, to develop positive action programmes that target any under-represented groups to ensure representation that is reflective of the communities we serve. We expect to be held to account by our own staff and trustees as well as by critical friends and stakeholders.
The Board is committed to maintaining gender parity in terms of the number of trustees and intends that there will at all times be at least 30% female membership on the Board (currently 42% female). It continues to seek to broaden the ethnicity and age range of its members as well as to improve representation from those with disabilities. Current data shows that representation from ethnically diverse backgrounds stands at 8%, whilst no Trustees have a declared disability or limiting long term health problem (comparative national data 14% and 18% respectively).
We remain committed to working with our external partners to ensure we are more reflective of the communities we serve. We recognise that in order to do this effectively, we need to first work on developing and better equipping our staff and contractors so support effective and meaningful engagement with diverse communities. Our commitment to this work includes consulting with LTOs and young people through our design and engagement processes.
During 2021/2, we published our 2021-5 Equality, Diversity and Inclusion Strategy. Five goals have been agreed and each year progress against these goals is reviewed and an action plan for delivery of next steps agreed. The five goals are:
-
Diversity of Voice - ensuring our internal and external programmes and interventions have diversity of voice at the heart of the design process
-
Recruitment - increasing the diversity of those applying, being offered and accepting roles at StreetGames; including staff, contractors and Trustees
-
Grow our own - planning for the long term increase of movement from grassroots community sport into the StreetGames workforce and the wider sector
-
Inclusive Environment - providing a working environment where everyone feels able to be their whole selves
-
Learning and development - creating a learning culture which enables all trustees, staff and contractors to develop their knowledge and understanding in a way that they choose.
The charity is a company limited by guarantee, governed by its Articles of Association. No member of the Board has any beneficial interest in the company. All of the members of the Board are members of the Company and guarantee to contribute £1 in the event of a winding up.
In addition, StreetGames currently has five Vice-Presidents who are also members of the company. These are honorary appointments made historically to recognise exceptional service to the organisation. Vice-Presidents have a longstanding association with StreetGames and bring a range of knowledge, skills, expertise, positive continuity and networks that can support its work. There are currently no term limits for Vice-Presidents, although the StreetGames Articles of Association are clear that no more than eight can be in place at any one time.
Admission to the Board is by election at an Annual General Meeting or a meeting convened for that purpose. The board seeks to add to its capacity by recruiting, through an open recruitment process, individuals with particular strengths in the fields of sport and regeneration, or with specific skills that will strengthen the governance function of the board and promote new and diverse perspectives. It therefore carries out regular skills audits and a trustee recruitment panel plans recruitment with identified gaps in mind.
All trustees receive a tailored induction, including the provision of a detailed Trustee Handbook and associated training, the opportunity to attend meetings in advance of joining the Board, and the opportunity to meet with Senior Management and other Board Members. Trustees undertake an annual individual review with the Board Chair, during which training needs are discussed and this forms the basis of an annual Board training plan.
The Board meets four times per year. It has three subcommittees which serve to both advise the full Board, and provide additional scrutiny in key areas:
Finance Committee (Chaired by Peter Rowley OBE)
The objectives of the Committee are to advise the Board on:
-
Maintaining an overview of the Group’s financial health and strategy;
-
Reviewing the financial strategy and systems on a regular basis and making recommendations to the Board to ensure that the overall financial health is maintained;
-
Day-to-day financial operations and controls including recommending the annual budget, monitoring actual performance against that budget and monitoring the production of timely and accurate management accounts;
-
The approval of operational financial systems, investment management controls and policy; and,
-
The adequacy of risk management, internal control, governance and human resources pertaining to financial and related matters.
Page: 18 StreetGames UK Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
Audit Committee (Chaired by Margaret Bowler - (Co opted Member)
The objectives of the Committee are to:
-
Provide the Board with assurance that an adequate process of corporate governance, risk management and internal controls are in place and working effectively,
-
To monitor the integrity of the financial statements of the charity, reviewing significant financial reporting judgments contained within them, and to advise the Board on the contents of the audit report and any management letter drafted by the external auditors.
Fundraising Committee (Chaired by Victoria Hill)
Charity Governance Code and the Code for Sports Governance
The Charity seeks to align itself with the principles of the Charity Governance Code. In addition, as a recipient of significant amounts of Sport England funding, it is subject to the full Tier 3 requirements of the Code for Sports Governance, through which the government seeks to maximise the effectiveness of its investment in sport. StreetGames undertakes a regular self-assessment against the Code requirements and where gaps are identified, action is planned within the Governance Improvement Plan to ensure it continues to maintain the highest standards of governance.
The objectives of the Committee are to:
Stakeholder Engagement Strategy
-
To support the development and implementation of the StreetGames fundraising and communications plans
-
To identify strategic fundraising and marketing opportunities for StreetGames
-
To review fundraising opportunities against StreetGames’ ethical policy and other ethical considerations, making recommendations to the Board of Trustees

The Board and Committees each undertake a regular selfevaluation of performance, the findings of which inform the organisation’s Governance Improvement Plan. In addition, Trustees are committed to a triennial external evaluation of Board effectiveness, to provide an independent perspective on Board performance. Such an external evaluation was undertaken during 2021-2 and the learning from this was delivered through StreetGames’ Governance Improvement Plan.
Day to day management of the charity is delegated by the Charity trustees to its Chief Executive Mark Lawrie.
The charity’s wholly owned subsidiary, Doorstep Sport Trading Ltd (DST Ltd) was established in 2015 to explore commercial opportunities. DST Ltd has a licence from the charity to utilise its intellectual property rights and branding for these purposes and donates all of its profits to the charity via gift aid (note 5 to the accounts).
Engagement is a vital part of developing understanding of our environment, particularly across disadvantaged communities. StreetGames has a strong track record of stakeholder engagement. Our stakeholders include a variety of groups – staff, our network of LTOs, national partners, corporate funders, politicians and more. The diversity of our stakeholders is growing, as the charity continues to grow the way its supports communities and young people facing socio-economic disadvantage.
Our current engagement strategy therefore looks to ensure that we:
-
are aware of who our stakeholders are
-
have a plan to engage with our stakeholders
-
understand the methods of engagement with key stakeholders and the relevant resources needed to carry out the engagement effectively
-
track our progress against our stakeholder engagement and understand what has changed/developed as a result.
Our ability to work with key stakeholders, over the past year, has not been carried out through a single process or set of activities, but rather across a continuum of engagements opportunities within the following framework:
Provision of Information – providing factual information; sharing the outcome of a process; and/or providing information on opportunities to engage.
Consultation – gathering feedback from our stakeholders to help guide and shape our practise, check and challenge our own thinking and/or present us with new ideas. We listen with intent, so we can understand the concerns or aspirations of our stakeholders.
Involvement – involving our stakeholders ensures there is a common understanding of the issues StreetGames seeks to address. A multiple engagement level of involvement encourages meaningful discussion and provides an opportunity for stakeholders to influence an outcome. We respect and value the views and expertise across our stakeholders.
Collaboration – We value a joint approach to formulating solutions and options, have shared-ownership of objectives and co-produce the journey we are on to deliver positive outcomes for young people.
Page: 19
Empowerment – StreetGames places the final decision into the hands of our stakeholders and they decide the next steps/outcome.
Staf Wellbeing and Employee Engagement
The wellbeing of StreetGames’ staff remains one of our key priorities. We undertake an annual staff survey, alongside the opportunities provided by a series of other forums and events which enable us to listen to, and act on, the concerns of our staff. Our Workplace Wellbeing Group is pro-active in promoting staff wellbeing; developing engagement opportunities and sharing tips and experiences to help staff manage both work related and personal pressures. Alongside this, all staff have access to an external Employee Assistance programme, and a range of associated personal support tools. A staff-led Continuous Professional Development Group is dedicated to improving and better coordinate staff training and development opportunities.
Conficts of Interest
StreetGames is committed to ensuring that we pay our staff fairly and in a way that ensures we attract and retain the right skills to have the greatest impact in delivering our charitable objectives. Delivery of StreetGames’ charitable vision and purpose is primarily dependent on our staff, and employee costs are the largest single element of charitable expenditure.
The Trustees (who are also the Board of Directors) consider themselves, the CEO and the Organisational Health Team (as listed on Pages 2-3) to comprise the key management personnel of the charity, in charge of directing and controlling, running and operating the Charity on a dayto-day basis. In accordance with the Charities SORP, the Companies Act 2006, and the Charities Acts 2011 and 2022, StreetGames discloses the following:
- all payments to trustees (no trustees receive ‘pay’),
StreetGames takes the process of managing the inevitable conflicts of interest that arise in the day-to-day functioning of the organisation seriously. We recognise that a network organisation – such as we are - is particularly vulnerable to actual and perceived conflicts. It is our ambition for StreetGames’ ways of working to be transparent and we have implemented a Conflict of Interests Policy to help ensure this.
Effective management of conflicts of interest is a whole organisation priority. It runs through from Locally Trusted Organisations to staff, contractors and Trustees. Appropriate training is therefore provided to those staff involved in the assessment and management of business areas where potential conflicts of interest lie and all staff are made aware of their responsibilities in this area through induction and staff meetings.
For LTOs in the network, the expectation that potential conflicts of interest are declared is built into the procedures for allocating resources. All Trustees and Senior Management complete annual Fit and Proper Persons and Conflict of Interests Declarations.
-
the total amount of employee benefits (including employer pension contributions) received by key management personnel for their services to the charity (note 12)
-
the number of staff in receipt of earnings of more than £60,000 (18 members of staff earned more than £60,000 in the year and their earnings in bands of £10,000 are presented in note 12 to the financial statements)
-
pensions and other benefits.
The board approves the annual percentage cost of living increase for all staff (including senior management) after considering the CPI as at 30 September of the previous year, an assessment of affordability in view of future confirmed income, and the general economic environment. A cost-ofliving increase of 3% was agreed by Trustees for 2023/4 in line with this policy.
Total income for the year was £12.15m; almost 37% higher than the level reported in 2021/22 (£8.87m).
Sport England continues to be our major funder, with a core award of £2.1m for 2022/3; the first year of a five-year funding commitment supporting our status as one of its ‘System Partners’. This funding (supplemented by additional delivery funding distributed to LTOs of £402,000) continues to underpin a significant proportion of core activity, providing StreetGames with a positive base from which it has been successful in developing sustainable partnerships with a wide variety of other statutory and commercial organisations.
Sport Wales have also continued to provide support for both core staffing and a broad programme of activity across the region. During 2022/3 this included the final year of their Healthy and Active Programme, together with two further doorstep sport schemes (total income £545,000). As in previous years, this has helped unlock grants from other funders including, Cardiff Council through SW Wales Construction’s CSR scheme (£104,000) and Disability Sport Wales (£27,000).

Our ‘Holiday Gap’ programme continues to grow in size and prominence. 2022/3 saw the first full year of the DfE’s £220m pa commitment towards its Holiday Activities with Food (HAF) programme and StreetGames played a key role in managing and delivering activity in Birmingham, Newcastle and across Derbyshire. Our contract with Birmingham City Council was worth £800,000 over the year, involving programme management, grant distribution, coordination of enrichment activities, food logistics, food provision, and training. In Newcastle we provided specialist consultancy advice, alongside a grant distribution service to a value of £109,000, whilst activity in Derbyshire saw a delivery programme of £181,000.
Alongside HAF funded activity for other Local Authorities (including Lancashire County Council, Hull, East Riding, and Medway Councils and the London Borough of Tower Hamlets), we also received repeat funding from both Pears and Linbury Foundations (together £100,000 income) to fund our wider ‘Fit & Fed’ programme.
Previous years have seen considerable growth in the number and value of our partnerships across the criminal justice sector. Our ongoing contract with the West Midlands Violence Reduction Unit was extended into 2022/3 (£182,000) and this model of partnership working continues to release further investment across Police & Crime Commissioners and Violence Reduction Unitss in Greater Manchester (£254,000), Thames Valley (£150,000) and through the Kent Safer together through Sport initiative (£62,500). In addition, 2022/3 saw the Ministry of Justice make a £4.9m investment available for sports programmes targeted at vulnerable young people aged 10-17 across the country. StreetGames led a consortium working with community sports organisations across England and Wales to successfully deliver this programme.
In line with income, expenditure in 2022/3 was higher in comparison with the previous financial year as additional resources were required for both programme delivery and development opportunities. Employment costs continue to be the single largest area of expenditure and our average staffing complement was 92 during the year (75 - 2021/2). We only plan to undertake additional programme activity in line with funding received and continue to push for full cost recovery of all management and overhead costs involved in project delivery. However, this is not always possible, and we therefore continue to explore both trading and fundraising opportunities to increase levels of unrestricted income. Training sales of £271,000 were made this year, more than in 2021/2 (£249,000) as operations recovered from Covid related restrictions. In addition, a significant amount of training was delivered as part of other programmes, reflecting the ongoing trend which has seen funders recognise the value of this offer as a key element in securing long term impact.

The trustees have a risk management strategy which puts in place procedures to:
-
integrate risk management into the culture of StreetGames
-
manage risk in accordance with best practice
-
fully document major threats and opportunities
-
clearly identify risk exposures
-
implement cost effective actions to reduce risks
-
ensure conscious and properly evaluated risk decisions
Seven key strategic risk themes have been identified and the Board undertakes a detailed review on a quarterly basis of the principal risks and uncertainties facing the charity and its subsidiary DST Ltd.
Our response to ongoing key risks is set out below:
StreetGames, Key Stakeholders and Network Capability - That StreetGames and the Network are unable to successfully deliver local programmes and key stakeholders no longer engage with StreetGames.
Our ten-year Strategy is focussed on ensuring that our LTOs are sustainable and have access to funding streams that will provide opportunities for all young people from underserved communities to engage in Doorstep Sport. Our Fundraising, Workforce and Stakeholder Engagement Strategies set the framework within which we work to maintain strong relationships with existing funders and ensure both StreetGames and LTOs are in a strong position to take advantage of new opportunities as they arise. We continue to advocate for LTOs at a national and local level and directly support capacity building via our Training Academy and through targeted fundraising provision.
Resources - That StreetGames has inadequate or ineffective staffing resources to deliver StreetGames’ Strategy and contractual commitments.
The organisation has undergone significant growth over recent years, and we have reviewed recruitment, induction, line management and communication processes as we seek to successfully integrate an expanded workforce. We undertake an annual Staff Survey to understand how staff feel about working for StreetGames and develop an annual Action Plan as a result. Regular performance reviews, mentoring, in-house training and development opportunities are in place, alongside employee led Wellbeing and CPD groups, which form a key element of innovative practice development.
Funding and Fundraising - that StreetGames generates insufficient financial resources to deliver its commitments.
We recognise that we operate within a funding environment that is characterised by considerable ongoing uncertainty and where short-term contracts are the norm. To mitigate this risk, we have refreshed our Fundraising Strategy as we seek to demonstrate the wider benefits of the ‘StreetGames Effect’ and build long-term relationships with a wide range of government, corporate and charitable organisations to deliver sustainable growth.
We recognise the role played by long term partners in sustaining our activity. In particular, the System Partner status awarded by Sport England, accompanied by a funding settlement which runs to 2027, provides a welcome degree of security underpinning our core activity. Similarly, our long-term relationship with Sport Wales continues to underwrite delivery across Wales.
Nevertheless, we recognise that cost of living pressures are likely to impact on our cost base in the short to medium term, including on our staffing resource, and this will need to be carefully monitored as a result.
Finance and Financial Control – that StreetGames has inadequate financial or IT controls which leave it vulnerable to fraud or that insufficient cashflow leaves the organisation unable to deliver its commitments.
Income receipts can be variable, dependent on funding draw down and claim submission. However, relationships with our major funders are good and we seek payment in advance where possible. Every effort is made to maintain flexibility around timing of expenditure should funds run low. Both the cashflow and reserves position continue to be resilient and, as noted below, StreetGames holds sufficient free reserves to meet the requirements of its Reserves Policy. Current cashflow forecasts predict balances in excess of this at least until March 2024.
Financial controls are kept under continual review, using a variety of internal and external audit frameworks.
Governance – that governance arrangements do not meet best practice or fail to meet the needs of funders.
Corporate governance structures and systems are in place to meet all legal requirements, together with any additional funder governance requirements. A variety of internal groups ensure governance and compliance issues are actively managed and the Board Audit Committee scrutinises the overall approach to internal control. Sport England commissioned BDO to review our governance arrangements during the year and they were able to reach an overall opinion that these are ‘Good’.
Safeguarding – that a major incident takes place at a StreetGames event or funded LTO activity
Safeguarding remains a key area of focus, both in terms of our own internal delivery and our relationship with partner LTOs and their provision. Trustees undertook a detailed review of our partner ‘take on’ procedures during 2019/20 and this was supplemented by an external review examining the legal environment within which we and our partners operate during 2021/2. As a result, revised procedures are in place which focus on provision of support to prospective partners to develop areas of practice, including safeguarding, which are focused on ensuring that investment is used in the right way and that the organisations we support are well-run and ready for the long term.
In April 2023 StreetGames attained the Intermediate Standard of the Child Protection in Sport Unit’s Safeguarding Standards. We are currently working towards the Advanced Standard.
Page: 22 StreetGames UK Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
Data Protection – that StreetGames or its partners inadvertently disclose personal data
During 2021/2 we launched a new 10-year strategy which lays out a road map to expand Doorstep Sport provision throughout the country and grow opportunities for young people in underserved communities to participate in sport. The strategy identifies four key objectives that frame our activity over this ten-year period – The StreetGames ‘Endgame’:
A Data Protection & Records Management Policy is in place, alongside associated protocols and regular training in IT security and Data Protection for all staff.
Data Protection is at the centre of our new IT Strategy as we seek to make use of the latest technology to embed secure systems and practices. We continue to move to cloudbased systems where possible and this has allowed us to both standardise use of many programmes and to exercise increased managerial oversight, thus helping to increase security around the data we hold.
-
All young people from low-income, underserved communities can engage in life-enhancing Doorstep Sport
-
There is a year-round, multisport offer available in every low-income, underserved community
-
All young people from low-income underserved communities can access a pathway to become volunteers and future community leaders
Total funds held at the end of the reporting period were £2,532,779, of which £1,166,211 were restricted reserves and not available for the general purposes of the charity.
- All mainstream sports providers change their practice to meet the needs of young people from low-income, underserved communities
The Board reviews its Reserves Policy annually and has concluded that it will maintain sufficient free reserves to cover the potential costs associated with an orderly closure of the business. This will allow it sufficient funds to continue to:
The 10 Year Strategy is supported through the development of a medium-term Business Plan which sets out the practical steps we will take over a two-year period towards delivery of our longer-term vision.
- Smooth the effects of any funding received in arrears on major programmes; and
Our financial strategy underpins delivery of our long term aims. We continue to develop a broad-based funding platform as we seek to harness increasing awareness about the power of sport as an effective tool to deliver wider social outcomes. This has seen us successfully develop an expanded range of regional and national partnerships.
- Fund shortfalls in project income where this is judged to be appropriate.
As at 31st March 2023 the reserves requirement was calculated in accordance with our stated policy as follows:
As a result, the percentage of our total income provided by Sport England grant has fallen consistently year on year since 2012. Nevertheless, we recognise that funding from Sport England and Sport Wales remains foundational for StreetGames and provides the critical platform from which we are able to attract other resources. As noted above, Sport England has recognised our role as a System Partner in their planning for the period 2022-7. This has brought with it confirmed funding over the same period which will continue to underpin a significant element of our core activity. We will also be working with Sport Wales to develop a longerterm funding arrangement, which we hope will allow StreetGames, together with our partners, to continue to respond at speed to the issues young people and their local communities face.

After deducting £74,953, representing fixed assets, actual free reserves were £1,291,615
This leads to a surplus on free reserves over and above the reserves’ requirement of £92,462.
Alongside our work with statutory bodies and trusts and foundations, we will continue to develop other potential sources of unrestricted funding. This includes a continued focus on the growth of a portfolio of charitable, corporate and individual supporters. Our training offer continues to be highly valued across the sector and we have seen our on-line training offer grow over the last three years.
We continue to deliver small, unrestricted surpluses annually, which are indicative of our ongoing financial health. Accordingly, Trustees have agreed to specifically designate the funds available over and above the reserves’ requirement as an Investment Reserve, available to pump prime new or existing activity as required, or for other specified purposes, and the value of the Investment Reserve as at 31st March 2023 stood at £92,462. Plans for utilising this reserve are considered by the Board on a regular basis.

StreetGames’ fundraising activity aims to strike a balance between funding the core of the organisation and enabling activity in our target communities. In broad terms, our strategy is designed to enable StreetGames to deliver three main objectives:
-
Increase the sustainability of StreetGames by contributing funding to its core functions. We know that when we raise money for the ‘StreetGames Effect’ this contributes to the delivery of our other fundraising objectives as well.
-
Support the delivery of impactful Doorstep Sport
-
Provide the advice and support to help sustain the LTOs that make up the StreetGames network.
We are committed to high standards throughout our fundraising activity: we are clear about who we are, what we do and how gifts are used. We respect the rights, dignities and privacy of our supporters and beneficiaries and comply with relevant laws including those that apply to data protection, health and safety, and the environment.
The focus of our fundraising activity is such that no general solicitations are undertaken by telephone, doorto-door or in the street. We do not engage the services of any professional fundraiser. Our fundraising strategy will nevertheless occasionally see us work with a select number of commercial organisations to both raise funds and campaign in support of StreetGames’ causes. During 2022/23 we had no Commercial Participator Agreements in place, although we worked closely with a number of other commercial organisations to both raise awareness of our charitable objectives and deliver specific programmes.
As we develop our fundraising activities, we will continue to abide by the Fundraising Standards Board’s Fundraising Code of Practice and the FRSB’s Fundraising Promise. No complaints have been received about our fundraising activity during the year.
From time to time StreetGames receives awards from funding bodies which it distributes in turn to organisations delivering activity in local communities. The distribution of these amounts is carried out in accordance with the specific terms of the agreement with any ultimate funding body. A dedicated team of staff is in place to ensure that activity planned and delivered by third party organisations complies with relevant eligibility criteria. In 2022/23 StreetGames made grants of £5,748,942, representing 49% of total charitable expenditure.
In so far as the trustees are aware:
-
there is no relevant audit information of which the charitable company’s auditors are unaware
-
the trustees have taken all steps that they ought to have taken to make themselves aware of any relevant audit information and to establish that the auditors are aware of the information.
The trustees are responsible for preparing the Trustees’ Annual Report and financial statements in accordance with applicable laws and the United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice including FRS 102.
Company law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the charitable company and of the incoming resources, including the income and expenditure, of the charitable company for that period. In preparing these financial statements, the trustees are required to:
-
select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently
-
observe the methods and principles in the Charities SORP
-
make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent
-
state whether applicable UK Accounting Standards have been followed, subject to any material departures disclosed and explained in the financial statements
-
prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charitable company will continue in operation.
The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose with reasonable accuracy at any time the financial position of the charitable company and which enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charitable company and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities.
The Financial Statements and Strategic Report are approved by the Board of Directors on 18th October 2023 and signed on behalf of the Board by
Dawn Cole Company Secretary

Independent Auditor’s Report to the
Members and Trustees of StreetGames UK
----- End of picture text -----
We have audited the financial statements of StreetGames UK for the year ended 31 March 2023 which comprise Consolidated Statement of Financial Activities, Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. The financial reporting framework that has been applied in their preparation is applicable law and United Kingdom Accounting Standards, including Financial Reporting Standard 102 The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice).
In our opinion the financial statements:
-
give a true and fair view of the state of the group’s and the charitable company’s affairs as at 31 March 2023 and of its income and expenditure, for the year then ended;
-
have been properly prepared in accordance with United Kingdom Generally Accepted Accounting Practice; and
-
have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Companies Act 2006, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006.
We conducted our audit in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK) (ISAs (UK)) and applicable law. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the group and charitable company in accordance with the ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements in the UK, including the FRC’s Ethical Standard, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
In auditing the financial statements, we have concluded that the trustee’s use of the going concern basis of accounting in the preparation of the financial statements is appropriate.
Based on the work we have performed, we have not identified any material uncertainties relating to events or conditions that, individually or collectively, may cast significant doubt on the group or the charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least twelve months from when the financial statements are authorised for issue.
Our responsibilities and the responsibilities of the trustees with respect to going concern are described in the relevant sections of this report.
The trustees are responsible for the other information contained within the annual report. The other information comprises the information included in the annual report, other than the financial statements and our auditor’s report thereon. Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and, except to the extent otherwise explicitly stated in our report, we do not express any form of assurance conclusion thereon.
Our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If we identify such material inconsistencies or apparent material misstatements, we are required to determine whether this gives rise to a material misstatement in the financial statements themselves. If, based on the work we have performed, we conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report that fact. We have nothing to report in this regard.

In our opinion based on the work undertaken in the course of our audit
-
the information given in the trustees’ report, which includes the directors’ report and the strategic report prepared for the purposes of company law, for the financial year for which the financial statements are prepared is consistent with the financial statements; and
-
the strategic report and the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report have been prepared in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
Details of the extent to which the audit was considered capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud and noncompliance with laws and regulations are set out below. A further description of our responsibilities for the audit of the financial statements is located on the Financial Reporting Council’s website at: www.frc.org.uk/ auditorsresponsibilities. This description forms part of our auditor’s report.
In light of the knowledge and understanding of the group and the charitable company and their environment obtained in the course of the audit, we have not identified material misstatements in the strategic report or the directors’ report included within the trustees’ report.
We have nothing to report in respect of the following matters in relation to which the Companies Act 2006 requires us to report to you if, in our opinion:
-
adequate and proper accounting records have not been kept; or
-
the financial statements are not in agreement with the accounting records and returns; or
-
certain disclosures of trustees’ remuneration specified by law are not made; or
-
we have not received all the information and explanations we require for our audit
As explained more fully in the trustees’ responsibilities statement set out on page 26, the trustees (who are also the directors of the charitable company for the purposes of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements and for being satisfied that they give a true and fair view, and for such internal control as the trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, the trustees are responsible for assessing the group and charitable company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the trustees either intend to liquidate the group or charitable company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so.
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ISAs (UK)
Irregularities, including fraud, are instances of noncompliance with laws and regulations. We identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements from irregularities, whether due to fraud or error, and discussed these between our audit team members. We then designed and performed audit procedures responsive to those risks, including obtaining audit evidence sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
We obtained an understanding of the legal and regulatory frameworks within which the group and charitable company operates, focusing on those laws and regulations that have a direct effect on the determination of material amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. The laws and regulations we considered in this context were the Companies Act 2006, the Charities Act 2011, the Charities and Trustee Investment (Scotland) Act 2005 and Regulation 8 of the Charities Accounts (Scotland) Regulations 2006 together with the Charities SORP (FRS 102). We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit procedures on the related financial statement items.
In addition, we considered provisions of other laws and regulations that do not have a direct effect on the financial statements but compliance with which might be fundamental to the group and charitable company’s ability to operate or to avoid a material penalty. We also considered the opportunities and incentives that may exist within the group and charitable company for fraud.
Auditing standards limit the required audit procedures to identify non-compliance with these laws and regulations to enquiry of the Trustees and other management and inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if any. We identified the greatest risk of material impact on the financial statements from irregularities, including fraud, to be within donations income, legacy and fundraising income and the override of controls by management. Our audit procedures to respond to these risks included enquiries of management about their own identification and assessment of the risks of irregularities, designing audit procedures over income, sample testing on the posting of journals, reviewing accounting estimates for biases and reading minutes of meetings of those charged with governance.
Owing to the inherent limitations of an audit, there is an unavoidable risk that we may not have detected some
Page: 27
material misstatements in the financial statements, even though we have properly planned and performed our audit in accordance with auditing standards. For example, the further removed non-compliance with laws and regulations (irregularities) is from the events and transactions reflected in the financial statements, the less likely the inherently limited procedures required by auditing standards would identify it. In addition, as with any audit, there remained a higher risk of non-detection of irregularities, as these may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls. We are not responsible for preventing non-compliance and cannot be expected to detect non-compliance with all laws and regulations.
This report is made solely to the group and charitable company’s members, as a body, in accordance with Chapter 3 of Part 16 of the Companies Act 2006. Our audit work has been undertaken so that we might state to the group and charitable company’s members those matters we are required to state to them in an auditor’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the group and charitable company and the group and charitable company’s members as a body, for our audit work, for this report, or for the opinions we have formed.

StreetGames UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies adopted, judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty in the preparation of the financial statements are as follows:
1.1 Basis of preparation of financial statements
The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting and reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) (effective 1 January 2015) – (Charities SORP (FRS102)), The Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102) and the Companies Act 2006.
StreetGames UK meets the definition of a public benefit entity under FRS102. Assets and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in the relevant accounting policy note.
1.2 Consolidated financial statements
The financial statements consolidate the results of the charity and its wholly owned subsidiary Doorstep Sport Trading Ltd on a line by line basis. A separate Statement of Financial Activities and Income and Expenditure Account for the charity has not been presented because StreetGames UK has taken advantage of the exemption afforded by section 408 of the Companies Act 2006.
1.3 Company status
The Charity is a company limited by guarantee. The Trustees of the company are the Trustees named on page 3 . In the event of the Charity being wound up, the liability in respect of the guarantee is limited to £1 per member of the Charity.
1.4 Currency and rounding
The financial statements are prepared in sterling, which is the functional currency of the charity, and monetary amounts in these financial statements are rounded to the nearest £.
1.5 Going concern Going concern
StreetGames, in common with many charities, operates within a funding environment of considerable uncertainty; where short term funding awards are the norm. Nevertheless, we continue to maintain strong relationships with a broad cross section of partners and our success in accessing an increasing number of funding streams demonstrates our success in managing the position.
Sport England and Sport Wales remain key supporting partners. Sport England have confirmed StreetGames as a systemic partner for 2022/5 with associated funding of £2.1m per annum over the period. We also continue to access a range of, albeit short term, funding sources from Sport Wales. During 2022/3 we were successful in winning 1+1+1 contracts to deliver DfE Holiday Activities with Food funded activity across a number of local authorities and these have been renewed for 2023/4. There is every expectation that activity will continue into 2024/5.
Nevertheless, the Directors recognise that the overall economic environment is challenging and that this is likely to have an impact on both the charity’s future funding position and the demand for its services. They have prepared forecasts for the next twelve months that indicate that sufficient resources will be available to meet financial commitments and continue to monitor the developing situation. As a result, the directors believe that the company’s financial resources and contingency planning is sufficient to ensure the ability of the company to continue as a going concern for the foreseeable future, being at least twelve months from the date of approval of these financial statements. They have therefore prepared the financial statements on a going concern basis.

StreetGames UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.6 Fund accounting
General funds are unrestricted funds which are available for use at the discretion of the trustees in furtherance of the general objectives of the Charity and which have not been designated for other purposes.
Restricted funds are funds which are to be used in accordance with specific restrictions imposed by donors which have been received by the Charity for specific purposes. The costs of raising and administering such funds are charged against the specific fund. The aim and use of each restricted fund are set out in the notes to the financial statements.
1.7 Incoming resources
All incoming resources are included in the Statement of Financial Activities when the Charity is legally/contractually entitled to the income and the amount can be quantified with reasonable accuracy.
Voluntary income is received by way of grants, donations and gifts and is included in full in the statement of financial activities when receivable. Grants where entitlement is conditional on the delivery of a specific performance by the charity, are recognised when the charity becomes unconditionally entitled to the grant. Donated services and facilities are included at the value to the charity where this can be quantified. The value of services provided by volunteers has not been included.
Income from government and other grants, whether ‘capital’ or ‘revenue’, is recognised when the charity has entitlement to the funds, any performance conditions attached to the grants have been met, it is probable that the income will be received and the amount can be measured reliably and is not deferred. Where income is received with requirements that it is to be used in future accounting periods, the income is deferred until those periods.
Incoming resources from charitable activities relate to grants specifically for the provision of goods and services for beneficiaries.
Income from investments is included in the year in which it is receivable.
1.8 Resources expended
Expenditure is recognised when it is incurred and is reported gross of related income in the following bases:
Cost of generating funds comprises the costs associated with attracting voluntary income and the costs of operating for fundraising purposes.
Charitable expenditure comprises direct expenditure including direct staff costs attributable to the Charity’s activities. Where costs cannot be directly attributed, they have been allocated to activities on a basis consistent with the use of resources as detailed below.
Governance costs include those costs incurred in the governance of the Charity’s assets and are associated with constitutional and statutory requirements.
Support costs include the central functions and have been allocated to activity cost categories on the basis of staff time.
Each year a transfer from the surplus unrestricted funds is made to clear the restricted funds deficit.
1.9 Leasing and hire purchase
Assets obtained under hire purchase contracts and finance leases are recognized as tangible fixed assets. Assets acquired by finance lease are depreciated over the shorter of the lease term and their useful lives. Assets acquired by hire purchase are depreciated over their useful lives. Finance leases are those where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership are assumed by the company. Obligations under such agreements are included in creditors net of the finance charge allocated to future periods. The finance element of the rental payment is charged to the Statement of Financial Activities so as to produce a constant periodic rate of charge on the net obligation outstanding in each year.
Page: 34 StreetGames UK Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements for the year ended 31 March 2023
StreetGames UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.10 Operating leases
Rentals applicable to operating leases where substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership remain with the lessor are charged to the Statement of Financial Activities as incurred.
1.11 Tangible fixed assets and depreciation
All assets costing more than £400 are capitalised.
Tangible fixed assets are stated at cost less depreciation. Depreciation is provided at rates calculated to write off the cost of fixed assets, less their estimated residual value, over their expected useful lives on the following bases:
- Fixtures & fittings 25% p.a. straight line - Computer equipment 25% p.a. straight line
A review for impairment of a fixed asset is carried out if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of any fixed asset may not be recoverable. Shortfalls between the carrying value of fixed assets and their recoverable amounts are recognised as impairments. Impairment losses are recognised in the statement of financial activities.
1.12 Creditors and provisions
Creditors and provisions are recognised where the charity has a present obligation resulting from a past event that will probably result in the transfer of funds to a third party and the amount due to settle the obligation can be measured or estimated reliably. Creditors and provisions are normally recognised at their settlement amount.
1.13
Financial instruments
The Charity only enters basic financial instruments that result in the recognition of financial assets and liabilities like trade debtors and creditors, loans from banks and other third parties, loans to related parties and investments in non-puttable ordinary shares.
Debt instruments (other than those wholly repayable or receivable within one year), including loans and other accounts receivable and payable, are initially measured at present value of the future cash flows and subsequently at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Debt instruments that are payable or receivable within one year, typically trade debtors and creditors, are measured, initially and subsequently, at the undiscounted amount of the cash or other consideration expected to be paid or received.
However, if the arrangements of a short-term instrument constitute a financing transaction, like the payment of a trade debt deferred beyond normal business terms or financed at a rate of interest that is not a market rate or in the case of an outright short term loan not at market rate, the financial asset or liability is measured, initially, at the present value of the future cash flow discounted at a market rate of interest for a similar debt instrument and subsequently at amortised cost.
1.14 Pension contributions
The pension costs charged in the financial statements represent the contributions payable by the charity during the year. The pension liability and expense are charged to activities on the basis of staff time allocated for relevant employees. The allocation between restricted and unrestricted funds is in line with the classification of expenditure for each activity.
1.15 Termination benefits
Termination benefits are payable when employment is terminated before the normal retirement date, or whenever an employee accepts voluntary redundancy in exchange for these benefits. The charity recognises termination benefits when it is demonstrably committed to either (i) terminating the employment of current employees according to a detailed formal plan without possibility of withdrawal or (ii) providing termination benefits as a result of an offer made to encourage voluntary redundancy.

StreetGames UK NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS For the year ended 31 March 2023
1. ACCOUNTING POLICIES (continued)
1.16 Company Information
StreetGames UK is a company limited by guarantee (company number 5384487) and is incorporated in the United Kingdom. For details of the registered office, please refer to the Legal and Administrative Information on page 3 .
1.17 Charitable activity
The Charity had seven charitable activities in the year (2022: seven). These charitable activities support the purposes of the charity, as detailed in the Trustees report.
1.18 Critical accounting judgements and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the entity’s accounting policies which are described on pages 3 3 -3 6 , the Trustees are required to make judgments, estimates, assumptions about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and underlying assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an on-going basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognised in the period in which the estimate is revised if the revision affects only that period or in the period of the revision and future periods if the revision affects the current and future periods.
In the view of the Trustees, no assumptions concerning the future or estimation uncertainty affecting assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date are likely to result in a material adjustment to their carrying amounts in the next financial year.
