More about Greenhouse
Not all young people have the same start in life. Through sport, we combat issues that arise out of poverty and lack of opportunity in areas of high deprivation, giving young people the life skills to overcome adversity and realise their goals. Greenhouse uses sport as a tool to transform young lives by raising aspirations and achievements, developing positive life skills and improving behaviour, attitude and acceptance of others. We deliver structured programmes in schools and community clubs based in areas of high social and/or economic deprivation which prevent access for young people to sport.
Our programmes are open and inclusive, there is no joining criteria and young people of all abilities are welcomed. We reach out to include: Young people from marginalised groups Young people with disabilities and special educational needs Girls and young women Those at risk of exclusion Those not participating in sport We engage young people on full-time programmes delivered throughout the year, both term-time and holidays. Open participation brings people from diverse backgrounds together, encouraging tolerance and acceptance amongst team mates. Our coaches work as positive role models and mentors, engaging and developing young people throughout the critical years of their life.
