Streetsport is a non-profit ‘intervention and diversionary tactics initiative’ based at RGU SPORT in Aberdeen that actively reduces instances of youth crime and anti-social behaviour. Established in 2006, the project uses sports and other creative activities to provide free alternatives for young people during the evenings by deploying mobile activity arenas into locations throughout the city, taking activities directly to young people within their own communities.
