OUR IMPACTS
At Play for Change we are dedicated to deliver high quality sports and educational programmes to create meaningful impacts and tackle inequalities by working hand-in-hand with local communities in the context of their needs.
​
To develop our impact monitoring and evaluation model we took into considerations the United Nations Sport for Sustainable Development guidelines and toolkit for action.
​
PARTNERSHIPS FOR THE GOALS #SDG17
Sport is a tool for integration and aggregation, and we work with local organisations, schools and other stakeholders to enhance social cohesion and activate a cultural change by fostering the creation of local networks and alliances
REDUCED INEQUALITIES #SDG10 #SDG1
Sport provides a platform for valuable lessons related to fairplay and equality and helps creating a feeling of inclusion in society, no matter what age, sexual orientation, gender expression, whether you are able-bodied or disabled, religion, ethnicity or socio-economic status you are or hold
SUSTAINABLE SPACES  #SDG7 #SDG11 #SDG14 #SDG15
Play for Change endeavours to fight environmental degradation and to redevelop suburbs and rural area in order to provide access to safe and sustainable spaces tailored to the needs of the children and their communities. By building centers that increase participation in sport we will  improve health and education, reduce  youth crime, benefit the environment and lead to regeneration and community development
ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT #SDG2 #SDG12
By up-skilling and training children and young people through sport, be it a coaching qualification or life skills training, we can equip young people and their communities to build a more prosperous future
SPORT FOR ALL #SDG9 #SDG16
All our sport programs are free and accessible to all and strive to include under-represented groups. We believe in sport as a tool for peace and social justice. We provide life skills specific to a child’s environment in order to equip children and young people to become agents of change
QUALITY EDUCATION  #SDG4 #SDG8
Play for  Change  uses sport as a platform to educate and empower children and their communities. Being active plays a key role in brain development and is also a great tool to enhance long-term educational attainment. The provision of sporting programs is often an incentive for children to go to or remain in school

Health and wellbeing are vital in the development of a positive and happy society. Our programs promote all aspects of health, from learning about nutrition to promoting positive relationships
