Community Sports

Sport, and physical activity reaches a number of young people each year across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. For many young people taking part helps them feel more confident, connected to their community and feel safer.

​

The Violence Reduction Network has partnered with StreetGames UK, a national sport and anti-poverty charity, and Active Together LLR’s local active partnership to support the community sports sector to utilise the evidence base to reduce the risk and likelihood of young people being affected by violence.
