A Link Up Hub is a local collective of sports clubs & other community organisations
that come together to improve the contribution that sport & physical activity has
on a community. Leaders from these organisations work together to develop active
communities where everyone not only benefits from sport & physical activity but
they also benefit from services to improve education and different career pathways
into employment.

Our Experience
The STREETS approach is a Multisport model of sport development with a scalable
program design that has expanded in different parts of the world and is considered
a global best practice by United Nations. With sports taking the lead, we can create
a more active, engaged, cohesive and sustainable community by empowering and
enlightening local people to improve the social and economic affairs of their region.
It starts with understanding the needs within a community and then collaborating
to facilitate and deliver activities and interventions.
