London Youth Sports Trust
At London Youth Sports Trust, we believe in the power of sports to transform lives. Our mission is to turn the Griffin sports ground into the best multi use ground in South London. Our focus is on using sport to nurture the talents and welfare of thousands of inner-city youngsters in the local area who often grew up in challenging circumstances. We aim to make the Griffin a shining example of turning a neglected community asset into an outstanding sporting facility which advances social, racial and gender inclusion in sport.
OUR JOURNEY
The Griffin is a beautiful seven acre sports ground in South London. It is operated by us, London Youth Sports Trust, founded in partnership with Lambeth Tigers FC and Dulwich Cricket Club. In 2022, we obtained a 30 year lease on what is a geographic green space between Lambeth and Southwark, providing a huge opportunity to ensure thousands of inner city youngsters benefit from superb sports facilities to which they would not otherwise have access.
