What do we do?
S4L, under contract with the Stockfield Community Association, has been delivering a programme of sporting activities for the children and young people of the Stockfield Estate, Acocks Green, since May 2007. Sessions are designed to be fresh, fun and motivating, as well as educational, and have included a whole range of professionally instructed sports including football, cricket, badminton and rock climbing to name but a few.

What have we achieved?
A run-down and un-used youth pod has been renovated into a thriving base for youth activities in the area; over 50 children have enjoyed and benefited from our free sessions; and constructive activity is replacing restlessness in the estate.

What do our partner organisations think?

“Sport 4 Life have made a positive start to providing youth activities in Stockfield, to the delight of local young people who have enjoyed not only professionally run and enjoyable weekly sessions, but also the involvement of the Sport 4 Life team at the annual community fun day. The staff have been eager to help, and have made a good impression with local residents.”
Jon Miles, Project Manager, Regeneration Department, Anthony Collins Solicitors

“The willingness of the Sport 4 Life team to engage in community activities and to work together with Stockfield Community Association and other organisations in developing youth activities is greatly appreciated in an area which has been lacking in such opportunities”
Pat Sheridan, Resident Director, Stockfield Community Association
