Street League is proud to be one of the charities supported by the unique Our Future Now fund, delivered by Inspiring Scotland. Thanks to Our Future Now, we are levelling the playing field for young people living in disadvantaged communities across Scotland, empowering them with the skills, qualifications and confidence they need to move into sustainable work, education and training.     Our CEO, Dougie Stevenson, was delighted to speak with The First Minister and Minister for Higher and Further Education earlier this week as they launched the mid-point impact report for Our Future Now. Thanks to the support of The Scottish Government alongside private partners, Our Future Now has changed the lives of almost 25,000 young Scots over the last five years – and we won’t stop until every young person has a brighter future.

Yesterday myself and Lauren O'Neill spent some time in Edinburgh with Street League who are one of our incredible new Partners! Street League, in its simplest terms, help young people into the world of work using sport and education. I got to see first hand how this concept works and how by incorporating sport, barriers could be broken down in a really organic way and trusting relationships could be formed. Thank you Julie Chalmers and Adam Brown for inviting us along to meet the team and cohort of young people. I was absolutely blown away by the Street League team and the impact they have on young people. We at Movement to Work are really excited about this new partnership and the opportunities we can collectively open up for young people in the future. #youngpeoplework

We’re reliving this year’s CVC Challenge Victory Cup!   On Friday 7th June, more than 250 people participated in the 12th CVC Challenge Victory Cup 5-a-side football tournament. It is a testament to the hugely loyal support of CVC relationship firms and portfolio companies, and the commitment of the CVC team that so many of the companies taking part attend year after year. The result being that, since 2012, this annual tournament has raised over £2million for Street League’s work - and has inspired others to do the same!   Thanks to CVC, hundreds of young people continue to access Street League’s sport and employability programmes, gain qualifications, and have access to at least six months of ‘in work’ aftercare support.    We are enormously grateful to CVC for their ongoing support and commitment.    🎥 - Sam McIntyre

I recently had the pleasure of volunteering with abrdn during my internship, thanks to the kind suggestion of Catherine W.. One of the most valuable lessons I learned during my time at abrdn was to seize every opportunity that comes my way, so I eagerly accepted the chance to get involved. I volunteered with Street League at Valley Park Community Hall in Edinburgh, where I gained a deeper understanding of how Street League gives a pathway to kids who struggle in school to enter college and achieve their career goals, by using the powerful incentive of sports. Key Takeaways: - During the session, we focused on how to structure CVs and identify the essential elements to build up a CV. The teaching environment was much more relaxed compared to a typical classroom. By including games into the learning process, the experience became both enjoyable and effective, significantly increasing the kids' engagement. - I also had the opportunity to network with colleagues like Holly ODonnell and Claire Dowle. I thoroughly enjoyed discussing their perspectives on the program, learning about them and their roles at abrdn, and receiving valuable advice for my future. - In addition, we discussed the importance of employees taking advantage of volunteering opportunities and how sharing knowledge and experience can make a difference. I realised that while I was helping others, this experience also helped me grow, particularly in building my confidence in public speaking and knowledge sharing. We ended the day with a fun game of 3v3 indoor football, which was a blast - even if it meant I returned to the office a bit sweaty. (But it was worth it, as my team won!) I’m blessed and grateful for this opportunity and want to extend my thanks to abrdn, Catherine W., Rebecca Hughes, Kerr Allan and Georgie Miles for making it possible. It has reassured me that I can continue to align work with my values even after I leave university and enter the workforce. #StreetLeague #abrdn #Development #VolunteerExperience

Pleasure to get out to visit Street League yesterday and to get involved in some of their employability and sport work in Craigend close to where I grew up (and still attempt to play 5s!). Absolutely bowled over and inspired by staff and participants working to make social mobility a reality. Thanks to Dougie Stevenson and the team for having me along. Looking forward to the next one!
