About the project – Towards Sport
The impact of smaller grassroots groups on preventing offending will be tested through an innovative evaluation of StreetGames’ Toward Sport programme. Fifty youth organisations from the sports charity’s network will participate in a ‘multi-site trial,’ involving over 3,000 young people aged 10 to 17.
Efficacy studies generally require large participant samples, which can be impractical for smaller grassroots organisations. A ‘multi-site trial’ addresses this challenge by conducting smaller trials concurrently across multiple organisations delivering similar activities and aggregating the results.

We’re looking to learn more about the impact of the arts, sports and wilderness and adventure activities on reducing violent offending behaviours for children and young people who have been – or are at high-risk of being – affected by violence, offending and/or exploitation.
