MAKING A POSITIVE IMPACT
TRANSFORMING COMMUNITIES
The Denis Law Legacy Trust has demonstrated a measurable impact across Aberdeen City over a number of years, winning both local and national recognition.
Our programmes have facilitated over 250,000 active participations across all activities.
We have introduced 3 free to access, multi-sport Cruyff Courts play areas into Aberdeen with a 4th on the way thanks to support from the Cruyff Foundation and Aberdeen City Council.
Streetsport and our associated diversionary tactics activities have an proven track record for reducing anti-social behaviour. As an example since the opening our Cruyff Court Neale Cooper the Torry area has seen a 50% reduction.
Our #YesBallGames campaign has championed and promoted the removal of all No Ball Games signs in Aberdeen which is the first city in the UK to do so.

Prioritising Prevention
Our flagship Streetsport initiative has worked strategically in partnership with a wide variety of stakeholders over the past 18+ years in over 50 locations throughout Aberdeen City with over hundreds of volunteers helping to deliver our activities.
Over the last 12 years we have worked primarily in collaboration with Aberdeen City Council, Police Scotland and Scottish Fire and Rescue Service plus many other partners in an effort to assist with crime prevention through intervention and diversionary tactics.
Denis Law Legacy Trust is also recognised by Aberdeen City Council for assisting with the delivery of the Scottish Government’s Activity Agreement Initiative.
