Closing the Gap

Closing the Gap is a major programme run by Stoke-on-Trent City Council that aims to increase the levels of sport and physical activity of young people who are experiencing or at risk of social exclusion.  We work with organisations and community groups, giving them with the skills to use sport with the young people they work. Closing the Gap aims to:

“unlock the potential of young people through increased participation in sport and active recreation and using this as a vehicle for change when working with young people at risk of social exclusion.”
