Barclays Spaces for Sports is backing StreetChance, a three-year project launched in July 2008 across 10 London boroughs: Brent, Chelsea and Kensington, Croydon, Ealing, Newham, Lewisham, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark and Lambeth. The scheme uses cricket to engage young people from a range of backgrounds in areas affected by youth crime and anti-social behaviour.

Each year, coaches have committed to hold sessions with young people in these 10 boroughs for three hours per week over a 44-week period. The coaches have been trained in teaching 'Street 20' cricket, a fast-paced and easy-to-learn version of the game which requires only limited equipment. Widely played in Pakistan and South Africa, Street 20 uses a tennis ball wrapped in tape instead of a traditional cricket ball, enabling the game to be played anywhere with a flat surface.

As well as these sessions and a city-wide competition, StreetChance is also running an in-school programme where inner-city state schools receive 25 hours of coaching from professional cricket coaches within school hours during the summer term.

StreetChance is a partnership between Chance to Shine, Barclays Spaces for Sports, Cricket for Change, Positive Futures and the Metropolitan Police Service.
