Story

That picture is what a half marathon did to me - please donate whatever you can so whatever state i'm in after a full marathon is worth it...

About Street League;


We are facing a youth unemployment crisis. As of May 2021, 360,000 young people
aged 16-24 are unemployed – enough to fill Wembley Stadium four times – with
109,000 of those being unemployed for over 12 months. The experience of being
unemployed can leave lifelong scars that negatively affect future employment,
wages and health, and significantly increase the likelihood of living in
poverty long-term. This is particularly worrying for young people, who are more
likely to experience unemployment during a recession and who have their whole
working lives ahead of them.

At Street League we support young people aged who live in some of the most
disadvantaged areas of the UK. Our programmes give young people the skills,
support and confidence they need to overcome their personal challenges – such
as caring responsibilities, mental health issues and having low or no
qualifications – and make the life-changing move into work, education or
training. Sport is at the heart of all our programmes, developing the life and
workplace skills, self-worth and sense of belonging young people need to
thrive.

“Sport and exercise help in many ways. When I’m playing football, you don’t have much
time to think about anything it takes your mind off things for a period of
time, and you get to spend time with your friends. Sport definitely helped my
mental health.” – Jaiden, Street League participant
