The Alliance of Sport works in collaboration with key partners and network members to deliver projects in the UK and Southeast Asia that create healthier lives and safer communities. We share what works, improve how things are done, and create better outcomes for vulnerable individuals and communities facing complex challenges. Read about our projects:

Levelling the Playing Field

The ‘Levelling the Playing Field’ project reflects our commitment to addressing the over-representation of ethnically diverse children and young people in the Youth Justice System and their under-representation in physical activity and sport. We collaborate with a diverse Community of Practice to share insights, secure funding, champion lived experience and deliver impactful projects. Building on the findings from a three-year collective impact project, we will continue to gather data and ideas to drive meaningful change, creating better outcomes for children, young people and communities.

UK Ministry of Justice ‘Youth Justice Sport Fund’

AoS played a key role in delivering the Ministry of Justice’s £5million Youth Justice Sport Fund in partnership with StreetGames and the Sport for Development Coalition. The fund was established to utilise sport as a powerful tool to engage at-risk young people, diverting them from crime and antisocial behaviour. Launched in December 2022, the programme allocated £5million across 220 trusted community organisations nationwide. The programme successfully engaged over 7,800 young people, with 82% of them coming from 40% most deprived areas, providing them with structured sports activities and additional personal development opportunities.
