  • Say YES to Ball Games! 🏀 🦁 We are proud to join forces with London Sport and Saatchi & Saatchi on their mission to transform outdated ‘No Ball Games’ signs into real opportunities for play within London. This groundbreaking initiative by London Sport aims to transform ‘No Ball Games’ signs into vibrant basketball hoops to encourage children to exercise. With an estimated 7,000 ‘No Ball Games’ signs across London, too many children are growing up without safe spaces to be active. This campaign isn’t just about removing signs—it’s about removing barriers to play and advocating for real policy change. London Lions players helped unveil the first reimagined sign – now a fully functional basketball hoop – at the Mursell Estate in Lambeth with the aim of shining a spotlight on the city’s youth inactivity crisis and the role that these outdated signs play in it. Team Captain Ovie Soko, a champion for youth empowerment, says, “This initiative is exactly what London’s young people need. It’s about more than basketball—it’s about the opportunity to be active and be part of something bigger.” Lenz Balan, CEO of the London Lions, added, “Basketball has the power to change lives, and we’re proud to support an initiative that gives more young people the opportunity to play.” 🔗 Join us in making a change!

    11 residents from our Barnsbury Estate transformation project with Newlon Housing Trust took to the court with Ruchae Walton, a coach from the BC London Lions.🏀    Ruchae led them through shooting, passing, and dribbling drills, before they put their new skills into action in a game.  Our partnership with the BC London Lions has brought basketball right into the heart of our communities, first with the Cubitt Town Girls and now at Barnsbury. These sessions aren’t just about learning basketball; they’re about building confidence, forming friendships, and discovering potential.🤝 Go Team Barnsbury! #CommunitySports #EstateTransformation #London London Lions Foundation
