How we work

built to last, and backed by evidence

  • For the long term.

    Our programmes become part of school life, not just one- off events.

  • In partnership.

    We work with schools, mentors and partners who bring expertise to their communities. Our mentors support teachers; they never replace them.

  • Led by evidence.

    We measure what we do and report it honestly. Little Sticks has been independently evaluated by Sheffield Hallam University.  

  • With young people.

    We design our programmes around feedback from children and young people, ensuring they’re kept at the heart of what we build. 

Where we're heading

Our goal is to bring Little Sticks to 750 schools and more than 100,000 young people over the next three years. Every golfer, school and partner who joins us helps get there.

reaching more children, every year
