Making basketball more fun
Welcome
Introduced in 2010, Sports2Work aims to transform young people’s passion for sports into skills and qualifications needed to take advantage of employment opportunities.
When it comes to explaining the meaning of Sports2Work there are two key themes; participation in sports to stay physically and mentally active; and career development as sportsperson, coach; journalist or marketing.
Since its inception, Sports2Work has been delivering its objectives through volunteers with support from partner organisations involving the Ileys Community Association, Bangladeshi Women’s Association, Bangladeshi Regeneration Council and various other community organisations.
