Aiming High: Sport for All

The Sport for All project aims to enable homelessness services to develop and deliver opportunities for sport. Physical activity has been shown to be instrumental for individuals moving towards independent living. Sports activities create meaningful pathways into education, training and employment as well as build confidence, skills and important social networks.

Homeless Link is undertaking a three year project, funded by the Football Foundation and the London Housing Foundation to increase access to sport for homeless people in a sustainable way.

The Sport for All project will offer frontline agency workers valuable support, guidance and opportunities to increase access to sport and its benefits for their clients.
