From 2nd December – 9th December, you can give the young people of Doncaster the best Christmas gift of all.
Fusion Streets supports young people aged 10–17 by providing positive sporting and physical activities that prevent youth crime, reduce isolation, and boost confidence. Through our programmes, young people improve their physical health, develop leadership skills, and build strong, positive connections with their communities.
Why We Need Your Support
Many young people in Doncaster face poverty, gaps in education, poor mental health, and low activity levels, less than half meet recommended daily guidelines. Over 40% report feeling unsafe or lacking things to do. These challenges can lead to anti-social behaviour and limit future opportunities. Fusion Streets uses sport to break down barriers, foster trust, and provide structure, helping young people feel safer, more connected, and ready to thrive.
How We Make A Difference
With your help, we will deliver 39 weeks of safe, inclusive sporting activities in areas where opportunities are scarce. Our sessions:
-
Engage isolated young people at risk of anti-social behaviour.
-
Improve physical health, mental wellbeing, and self-confidence.
-
Build leadership skills through mentoring and volunteer opportunities.
-
Provide tailored pathways into apprenticeships, volunteering and employment.
Our approach combines structured sport with personal development, filling gaps where local services are limited and ensuring young people have the support they need to succeed.
