Using the power of sport, Street League supports young people aged 16-30 who are living in some of the UK’s most disadvantaged communities to give them opportunities to succeed in life and the workplace.
In November 2024, Compass teamed up with the charity to create learning and job opportunities for young unemployed people giving them skills for future success. Since the launch in November, 46 young people have been given roles through Constellation with 29 in London and 17 in Glasgow.
Following this success, Street League will now be utilising Xcelerate with Edgbaston in Birmingham to deliver a rolling eight-week Academy Programme.
Jonathan Foot, director of skills and early careers at Compass Group UK & Ireland, said: “It’s fantastic to see this partnership flourishing so quickly. Our objective is to offer everyone the opportunity to develop and progress, regardless of their background and qualifications, as part of Our Social Promise.
“I’m proud that we’ve created opportunities for people who have been struggling to find the right role, and in the process, we’ve found hard-working, talented people who are enjoying learning and developing in the Compass family. It’s a win-win.”
The Street League partnership aligns with Compass Group UK & Ireland’s dedication to creating opportunities, through its Our Social Promise – a commitment to positively impact one million lives by 2030.
