Outdoor FUTURE’s Post

I’ve always believed football isn’t just about elite competition, performance, and rankings. Sport is about so much more than that. It’s also about creating opportunities for sectors that might not otherwise engage with it. That's why I was thrilled to hear about The Street Child World Cup 2026. It's a global event where teams of young people who've experienced homelessness or street living come together to play football. The purpose of this event is threefold: → Raise awareness about the challenges faced by children living and working on the streets. → Provide a platform for these children to share their stories. → Call for change and demand that their rights be protected. Remember: Football holds potential beyond winning and losing. It can make a positive difference in the lives of children and communities worldwide, creating opportunities for those who suffer from health issues, disabilities, and inequalities. So, thank you, Street Child United, for organizing this global event.

I could be accused of being biased but I genuinely believe this is a great piece of research, on so many levels. Here are just a few thoughts from me as to why: 1. As you would expect from Access Sport, the presentation and format is clear and easy understand. 2. The final product also contains a playbook, which goes beyond the research and is an attempt to bridge that gap and help support organisations and clubs to actually embed the findings. 3. Research is not my specialist area but this is one of my (if not the) first experiences of reading research that talks to the things that we 'sports for change' professionals have known and understood for a very long time. The fact is though that sport still has a huge way to go to fully achieve it's potential around social impact, and for that to happen, perceptions around what sport is and what sport can do, is pivotal. This research, which is evidenced based, supports that by highlighting the things that are often overlooked. Well worth a look.

Creating Community Impact, One Bowl at a Time 🏌️♂️ Yesterday, TurnBerry Acai had the privilege of being part of something bigger than ourselves. We joined forces with the Canada Shriners Hospital for their 13th Annual Invitational at Summerlea Golf & Country Club. The goal? To raise $1 million for life-changing medical imaging technology that keeps children safe. When we launched TurnBerry Acai 7 months ago, we didn’t just set out to make the best acai bowls in the city — we set out to make a difference. Our mission quickly evolved into "creating an everlasting community impact that transcends acai. One bowl at a time. One city at a time." 🌍 From university campuses to charity events like this one, being there for our community isn’t just a priority—it’s who we are. And no matter how fast we grow, this will never change. Should've prepped the 150 bowls in advance, but I've always been a crash course type of student haha! Could've been a disaster if dad was not here to carry the boat (insert David Goggins)! PS: I was a bit starstruck when I got to meet Montreal Canadiens' legend Chris Nilan haha! Can't forget my Junior A teammate and Hockey Saint-Laurent legend Jaden Lang 🏒 #CommunityImpact #TurnBerryAcai #CanadaShriners #AcaiForACause #GrowthMindset

In being intentional in creating a registration process that considers the information required and potential registration barriers, we can provide a more welcoming space for participation in sport. Learn more in The Belonging Playbook: https://lnkd.in/eVvRjpQp
