Sports Key

About

Birmingham-based Sports Key provides a platform for individual development, particularly for young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, and supports a healthier, more cohesive and active community.

It currently delivers:

1. Community sports programmes enabling accessible and affordable fitness for underserved communities to increase levels of physical activity amongst communities most inactive.
2. A 12-month youth enterprise offer for young people at risk of falling into the criminal justice system which aims to increase participants employment prospects through a series mentoring, skills development workshops, volunteering and employment opportunities (as sessional workers with Sports Key’s community sports programme).
3. A community of practice to engage a network of black leaders from diverse sectors and facilitate capacity building workshops around sharing best practice, governance and funding.

Working with Youth Futures

As part of our Evidence into Action programme, the charity aims to strengthen and expand its offer.
