The St. Matthew’s Project provides a safe and encouraging environment where 3-25-year-olds can come together and enjoy structured football sessions and other activities. We help young people living mainly in the Tulse Hill and Coldharbour wards of Lambeth fulfil their potential and have a real impact on their community. What began as a kick-about in Brockwell Park is now a thriving youth project, which offers a growing array of programmes and services to over 200 young people each week, bringing them together from 3 different housing estates which historically would not have anything to do with each other. The project has a dedicated team of 16 staff and 6 volunteers, with extensive experience of working with a challenging target group and a thorough understanding of the local community and its needs.
