The London Basketball Association is a registered charity, established in July 2012. As a charity organisation, our mission is to inspire Londoners to develop a habit of getting involved with the conglomerate of basketball in order to benefit from it on many different levels. To achieve this, we work to enhance the infrastructure of basketball, making the sport easily accessible to the masses. We see sport as an integral part of the society, a practice that brings communities together, creates employment and growth opportunities within those communities, as well as helps to maintain the healthy lifestyle. We recognised the potential for basketball to become a gateway to solving key social issues such as obesity, physical and mental health issues, substance misuse, unemployment, crime and postcode wars. LBA brings positive social change to the most disadvantaged communities in London through the sport of basketball.
