Programme

Streetsport

Denis Law Legacy Trust’s flagship programme, Delivered in partnership with Robert Gordon University

 

Streetsport is Denis Law Legacy Trust’s flagship programme. Ran in partnership with the Robert Gordon University, Streetsport delivers free weekly sports and creative activity sessions for young people 5-nights a week, 50-weeks a year.

Utilising our mobile sports arena and equipment in various places including car parks, parks and local facilities, Streetsport has successfully reduced instances of anti-social behaviour; improved health and wellbeing; and encouraged inclusivity through sport, physical activity, and creative endeavour. You can find out more about the Streetsport’s positive impact here.

All of our Streetsport sessions are participant led with a wide range of sports and creative activities available for the young people who attend and our Streetsport emblazoned vans are loaded full of equipment and games… there’s something for everyone!

Volunteers are the backbone of Streetsport, delivering engaging, youth-led sessions which take place during weekday evenings. If you want to make a difference and volunteer find out more here.

  • Free to access sport and creative activities

  • Eliminating barriers to participation

  • Operating across Aberdeen city

Streetsport was initially established in 2006 as a partnership between RGU Sport, Gray's School of Art and Police Scotland.

First running as a part-time programme delivered in a handful of locations, the programme has developed over the years and is now a full-time programme operating across the city every week night. Last year, Streetsport saw over 15,500 participants at 390 sessions across the year. This growth would not have been possible without our continued partnership with Robert Gordon University, something which continues to this day.
