Last Thursday we had a pretty huge day sponsoring and attending the Street Elite Football tournament hosted at The Change Foundation's HQ. Street Elite is an incredible program that provides coaching and mentoring for young people on the edge of gangs and crime, helping them to re-engage with employment, education, or training over a period of nine months.
The football match is a celebration of completing the programme and a day where all four cohorts (South, North, West London, and Birmingham) come together. All teams played to a mad standard but it was the south London boys who ended the day on top. The Freestar champagne spray was a highlight of the day (please let us know if you ever want some Freestar's for your own spray ;)
They recently introduced an entrepreneurial aspect to the program which is where Freestar is going to get involved. A number of the Street Elite cohort will be presenting their business ideas to us in the coming weeks and we will then mentor them to help them grow and develop their businesses. We are super excited to start working with these unreal young people and hope we can make a genuine and positive impact on their lives.
Keep an eye on our feed for more updates. The work done by this incredible charity is unbelievable and we are extremely proud to be a part of it.
