One of our very first grants, StreetGames opened the doors to the Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games for young people from communities across the UK who would normally have been left out.
Major inner-city events should always inspire young people from surrounding low-income areas, too. So you provide tickets. Somewhere for them to stay. Activities to do while they’re there. And then, you take the fun on the road.
The Glasgow 2014 Commonwealth Games radiated energy across the city. Our grant for Camp Glasgow to StreetGames helped it reach even further by opening the experience to young people from around the country. As well as tickets to watch Commonwealth Games events, Camp Glasgow set up a dedicated residential site for those coming to watch.
There were on-site sports like football and table tennis, and instructor-led activities like mountain biking, raft building and archery. And, after the main event, StreetGames brought the action to over 200 sites across the country with Pop Up Games
“Our young people are from one of Scotland's most deprived local authorities and therefore this was an opportunity for them to participate in activities which would not have been accessible to them otherwise. Although they live close to Glasgow, the Commonwealth Games was relatively alien to them.”
– Pop Up Games Project Lead
“Every aspect of this trip was amazing – loads of memories to take back to South Wales with me.”
