BACKGROUND
In 2009, the community arm of Keighley Cougars rugby club started running street activities for young people funded by Yorkshire-based social landlord Incommunities. Such was the success of the scheme that an independent social enterprise, Your Sporting Chance, was set up in 2010 and has continued to evolve. It now targets young people already involved in crime or antisocial behaviour, those on the margins of society, and those with family circumstances that may put them at risk.
