CHANGING LIVES THROUGH STREET FOOTBALL
|
YO! STREET ZONE is a community organisation based in Margate with a vision to enrich and change lives through street football. Since our foundation in 2013, we have been working with young people in Margate, Thanet and Kent, uniting young people of various social and cultural backgrounds. All our sessions encourage positive core values and life skills, raising aspirations and life chances by enabling young people to be more confident and creative with the ball - and in life.
YO! STREET ZONE also nurtures and develops home-grown talent, forming the biggest street football crew in the UK. With our work, we have made Thanet the home of street football in England. Alongside our street based youth engagement in our local community, we also deliver events, coaching sessions for football teams, schools, colleges and individuals across the South East of England. |
