How clubs educate through sport

1 min read Extra-curricular
Project improves the aspirations and life chances of 11- to 18-year-old Londoners at risk of becoming Neet (not in education, employment or training).

PROJECT

Sporteducate

FUNDING

Up to £9,000 per year each for 33 sports clubs to provide educational provision or employment support over three years, funded by Deutsche Bank

BACKGROUND

In 2013, Deutsche Bank sought out a charity to provide targeted educational interventions to young Londoners at risk of disengagement to be funded through its Born to Be programme. It joined forces with charity Sported and the Sporteducate scheme was born, piloted from September 2013 in five London sports clubs. There are now 33 participating clubs and the scheme has reached 1,669 young people.

ACTION

Sporteducate aims to improve "five As" - attitude to learning; attendance at school, college, training or work; academic achievement; aspirations; and aptitude and employment.
