§ The journey wall
Every face, court & city
A living montage of the people met and the places reached.
What is the game really for?
Beyond the Court asks what late-night basketball is really for — and what it would take to build it well across the UK. It begins in Toxteth, Liverpool 8, home of Toxteth El8te, and runs through a 2025 Churchill Fellowship: thirty days, five US cities, and fourteen interviews with founders, scholars and practitioners in basketball. Its central finding is a reframe: late-night basketball is not a crime-prevention programme but a public-health one!
A living montage of the people met and the places reached.
Basketball was designed as a public good. Late-night basketball, at its best, is public-health provision — so fund it as what it is.
The report is the destination. The journey is how it was found. The people are why it matters. Pick a thread.
Eleven chapters, seven themes, ten lessons — the full case, with a downloadable PDF.
From Toxteth across the Atlantic — fourteen interviews, the cities, the reach.
The fourteen, in their own register — film, audio and photography, each with a transcript.
The report and the website are live. Read it, hear it, and judge for yourself.
Late-night basketball for social change.
