Social Action Projects
Through Premier League Primary Stars, we deliver social action projects to the community, as part of the #iwill campaign.
The Premier League and the #iwillcampaign have teamed up to back our schools’ team running a variety of projects in the local area.
The goal is to increase the numbers of young people engaged in social action by 50% in 2020-21, meaning that 60% of all young people would be regularly engaging in social action by the end of 2021.
Our Social Action projects run in partnership with local organisations and schools. Each Social action will:
- Be youth-led.
- Be challenging.
- Have a social impact.
- Allow progression to other opportunities.
- Be embedded in a young person’s life.
- Enable reflection about the value of the activity.
Our social action projects this year include our pen pal scheme, working alongside Age UK to support local people suffering from loneliness; and Sports Leaders, with Year 5 children taught how to become leaders of activity within their schools, delivering games to other groups of children.
