Working with the FA, YST has established a network of school partnerships across England to increase girls’ access to football, both in and out of school. We were asked to assess how well the program works, compare different ways it’s delivered, and identify what helps improve girls’ access to football in schools and their communities.
This has involved an analysis of existing survey and school-level data, as well as interviews and surveys of partnership leads. We also used FA data on regular football’s economic and social value to produce an SROI for the programme.
