- Streetlife Celebration June 2009
Street Life Soccer is a joint venture between Norwich City FC Football in the Community and Blue Cat Initiative, funded by the Football Foundation, Investing in Communities and Norfolk Learning Partnership. The programme supports vulnerable and homeless through a soccer league and embeds training through ‘team talks'. More than a hundred participants from hostels and other organisations across Norwich have engaged so far.
The programme's success was recently recognised with a "Highly Commended" in the Football Association Awards Best Community Initiative - An amazing achievement for a programme which had been running for 9 months!
Street Life Soccer recently hosted trials for the Homeless World Cup - 7 participants went to Old Trafford to continue trials - all were called back for additional trials. IN the end on was chosen to repersent England in Sydney at the next Homeless World Cup - Lee Thompson. Unfortunately due to a long term injury he has been unable to continue with the England squad but he has been offered work with the Norwich City Football in the Community poroject. Two others have also gone on to complete level 2 coaching awards and are looking for work.
Streetlife will be moved into Kings Lynn in Octiober 2008

Case Study
‘Dangerous' Dave - YMCA joined the Street Life Soccer programme at its start. Initially he was unable to control his temper leading to an early departure from the field, he was able to explore solutions in resolving conflict through the supportive environment of the programme. He has now successfully gained employment at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital and his employer has allowed Dave time off to continue with the programme to complete his qualifications.
