02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Moving The Goalposts (MTGP) has been in operation since 2008 and predominately targets the most vulnerable and hard to reach individuals and communities within the South Lanarkshire area. Through the provision of highly specialised coaches, a portable football pitch and skill zones, MTGP provides a low cost localised meeting place for attendees and the wider community at a time when offending is at its most prominent. The use of football allows coaches to successfully engage with extremely hard to reach individuals and communities before introducing partners and other alternatives. All MTGP activities are provided free of charge and are open to all.
