Basketball Nxtion CIC Basketball Nxtion CIC is a community interest company that uses basketball to give young people in London somewhere to belong, something to work towards and a route into opportunities around the game. We run regular weekly community sessions for girls and boys, and use the wider world of basketball, including media, events and live games, to open doors for young people who would not otherwise have them. - More than 300 basketball sessions delivered during the year. - A 12-month weekly programme for girls and boys, with around 120 girls and 120 boys attending each week for three hours. - New weekly two-hour sessions in West London for under 19 boys and under 18 girls. - Young people given sports media experience as photographers and videographers at the NBA London game. - Work experience for young people inside a working sports organisation, learning how events are built and delivered. - An industry placement partnership agreed with a college for T Level students, starting in the 2026/27 academic year. Activities during the year Weekly girls' and boys' basketball programme, Our main programme started with girls' basketball in 2025 and ran for 12 months, finishing during this financial year. It grew to weekly girls' and boys' sessions, with around 120 girls and 120 boys attending each week. Each session lasted three hours. This gave young people a regular, reliable space every week to stay active, improve their skills, build friendships and be around trustedadults. West London under 19 boys and under 18 girls sessions After the main programme, we started new weekly sessions in West London for under 19 boys and under 18 girls, with each group training for two hours a week. These sessions help older teenagers stay involved in sport at an age when many drop out. Sports media opportunities We gave young people the chance to work at the NBA London game as photographers and videographers. They worked in a real professional setting, built their portfolios and saw first-hand what a career in sports media looks like. Work experience We took on young people for work experience in our sports organisation. They learned: - how a sports organisation is built and run; - how to plan, create and deliver events; - how sport can be used to help and support people, especially younger generations; and - everyday work skills such as communication, teamwork and responsibility. T Level industry placements Towards the end of the year we agreed a partnership with ESA to host T Level students on industry placements, starting in the 2026/27 academic year. This includes eight Year 13 Media students attending every Friday, with week-long blocks planned in the October and February half terms, up to 15 new Year 12 students, and five Business and Admin T Level students. 4. Benefit to the community - Health and activity: hundreds of young people took part in regular physical activity every week. - Girls in sport: around 120 girls a week had a space of their own in basketball. - Staying in sport: our under 19 and under 18 sessions keep older teenagers active and connected. - Safe spaces: young people had somewhere positive to be, with trusted adults around them. - Careers and skills: young people gained real experience in sports media, events and running a sports organisation. 5. Plans for next year We will continue our West London sessions, start hosting T Level students on placement, keep creating sports media and events opportunities for young people, and developing a 3x3 basketball

Our stakeholders are the young people who attend our sessions, their parents and carers, our coaches and team, and our partner organisations. We are always looking for ways to improve and better serve our community, so listening to them is part of how we run week to week. During the year we gathered feedback in the following ways: - Conversations at sessions: we regularly sat down with young people at our sessions and asked what they enjoyed, what they wanted more of and what could be better. - Parents and carers: we spoke with parents involved in the programme about what they want for their children and how the sessions are supporting them. - WhatsApp messages and emails: participants, parents and partners shared feedback, questions and suggestions with us directly. - Events: at our events, young people, parents and partners gave us feedback in person, including recognition of the work we have done with them. - Word of mouth: feedback passed on through our community and networks. - Monitoring reports: we collected and recorded information about our sessions in monitoring reports, including feedback gathered through forms. Most of our consultation is informal and conversation-based, which suits the young people we work with. All of this feedback was shared with our team and used in our reporting, and it helps shape how we plan and run our sessions and activities. Next year we plan to build on this by collecting feedback more regularly through our monitoring forms, so that we have a clearer record of what our community tells us and how we respond.
