Project:
Right to sport: Homelessness&Refugees (62877) for the inclusion of young people at risk of social
exclusion in the city of Barcelona - Street Soccer Barcelona (SSB)
Context:
The project is aimed at young people at risk of social exclusion living in shelters in Barcelona or living on
the streets. These young people come to our acvies from the social enes that support them or
from the social services of the Barcelona City Council.
In this sense, we work together with the professionals who support them.
At SSB we have the experience that being able to meet to play sports, to play what for many is their
favorite sport, soccer, has many benefits, both individually and collecvely. It improves their mental
health, due to the sport itself and through socializing with other people with whom they share reality. It
also increases their self-esteem, accompanied by a team of professionals who know the importance of
posive reinforcement.
During the year 2024, a total of 243 young people have aended SSB training sessions. A regular group
of 40 young people has been maintained week aer week.
We will soon publish the 2024 annual report with stascs and photos. We will share it with Global
Giving.
Budget:
As regards material costs, the grants are intended to cover the rental of the field, as well as the
purchase of footballs, clothing and sports shoes. In terms of human resources, the work of the coach
who organizes and develops the weekly training sessions has been covered, as well as part of the work
