#SportInspires: activating young people through 2024’s summer of sport

Inspiration square

This summer looks set to be another fantastic celebration of sport, with the Olympics and Paralympics, men’s Euros, Wimbledon, men’s T20 World Cup and many more truly offering something for everyone to enjoy. For young people living in underserved communities, however, opportunities to connect to these events – and experience the ‘inspiration effect’ of increased participation in sport and physical activity – is all too often limited.

Street Games' Inspiration campaign, now in its third year, aims to change that. As well as creating opportunities for young people to attend major sporting events to spectate or volunteer, the campaign also aims to harness the power of these occasions to support more young people to be active right on their doorstep.
