Young people

Over the last thirteen years we have supported thousands of young people aged 11-25 who are facing disadvantage across the UK.  

We actively work with young people who are harder to engage in both education and in the community. From 2018 onwards we have extended our reach to work with 11-25 year olds, but our principles remain the same. We use the power of world class athletes to train and mentor young people to achieve their potential through personal, social and emotional development programmes.

Below are our written case studies. You can view some of our video case studies here
