Hackney Play Association Competitors

Hackney is one of the UK’s highest performing local authorities, serving one of London’s best places to live and work. Hackney has a history of overcoming challenges; we went from being the worst local authority in the country to one of the best over the past 15 years. We have effectively managed the second highest level of cuts in the country whilst prioritising services, focusing on residents, and keeping standards high to make Hackney fairer, safer and more sustainable. Our staff are what makes Hackney Council great and we thrive on challenge and change. Our mission is to make Hackney a place for everyone, where all our residents, whatever their background, have a chance to lead healthy and successful lives; a place of which everyone can be proud, with excellent services, thriving businesses, and outstanding public spaces; a place where everyone feels valued and can make their voice heard. In Hackney we are: Open; Inclusive; Ambitious; Pioneering; Proactive and Proud… of Hackney, of each other, of what we do, and of the Council.

We are the UK's largest woodland conservation charity. Our vision is a world where woods and trees thrive for people and nature.

StreetGames exists to bridge the sporting inequality gap for young people from low-income, underserved communities. Since we launched in 2007, we have been working with community organisations across the UK to transform young lives through sport. Our network now totals over 1,600 organisations – from sports clubs and community groups to housing associations, leisure trusts and local authorities – and we are proud to support each and every one of these in their tireless and transformational work. We are the people beside the people who change lives and communities. Doorstep Sport is our evidence-based delivery approach, underpinned by the 5 rights: sport delivered at the right time, the right place, in the right style, by the right people and at the right price. Appropriately delivered Doorstep Sport transforms young lives by providing positive pathways and alleviating some of the impacts of living in a low income, underserved community. It offers a route to healthier, safer, more successful young people and neighbourhoods. We are committed to growing the reach and impact of Doorstep Sport in more places, with more young people. StreetGames achieves its vision when: - All young people from low-income, underserved communities can engage in life-enhancing Doorstep Sport. - There is a year-round, multisport offer available in every low-income, underserved community. - All young people from low-income, underserved communities can access a pathway to become volunteers and future community leaders. - All mainstream sports providers change their practice to meet the needs of young people from low-income, underserved communities. StreetGames is registered as a charity with the Charity Commission (registered charity number 1113542) and as a company limited by guarantee with the Registrar of Companies (registered company number 5384487).
