Burgers, Beats and Big Smiles at the Queens Group End of Summer BBQ

Last Wednesday night, our Queens Group hosted a fantastic End of Summer BBQ at our Torry Streetsport session. It was a great success, with plenty of burgers, hot dogs, snacks, great music and lots of fun!

A huge thank you to the Queens Group for taking the lead and delivering such a fantastic event. Everyone loved the End of Summer BBQ, and it was great to see so many young people coming together to enjoy the food, music and activities while celebrating another successful summer of Streetsport!

Our Queens Group is one of our programmes, developed alongside Streetsport staff with a group of local young girls who regularly attend our sessions. The group provides a space for the young people to share their ideas, build confidence, develop new skills and have a voice in shaping the future of Streetsport. Through their involvement, members play an active role in planning activities, supporting their peers and creating positive experiences for others. The group continues to grow as leaders and role models within Streetsport, and they should be incredibly proud of what they achieved so far.

The Queens Group began in March 2025, as a Whatsapp group with 4 members. The group has now grown to 7 girls from Cove, Kincorth, Torry aged between 14-16 years, all meeting monthly in person with support from our Streetsport staff.

Since its creation, the group has made a significant impact through its leadership, creativity and commitment to their community. As of September 2026, the girls have planned and delivered four events, engaging 205 young people, and led 10 creative activities that have reached a further 348 participants. Their development has also been reflected in their growing contribution as volunteers, with more than 90% of members now actively volunteering and collectively contributing over 420 hours of their time to support Streetsport activities and community initiatives.
