Objectives

Thanks for your interest in supporting London Youth Games, a charity that that creates life-changing opportunities through the power of competitive sport for all young Londoners.

Last year we helped 160k young Londoners benefit their mental and physical health through sport, and played a part in reducing knife crime, but not many people know about the charity.

We have volunteer opportunities for young people to gain experience in filming, social media, presenting, interviewing and journalism. There’s a lot of opportunities and I’m really keen to provide opportunities to the next generation, of all ethnicities, beliefs, disabilities and backgrounds.
