Introduction to Our Youth Support Programmes

We offer free, bespoke programmes that support young people through key life transitions with a particular focus on those experiencing multiple disadvantage.

Aimed at young people aged 12 to 25, our programmes provide structured, personalised support to help them build resilience, develop life skills, and stay connected to positive pathways in education, employment, and personal growth. Our delivery includes:

Seasonally structured workshops
Individualised monthly mentoring
Weekly check ins
Life skills sessions and enrichment opportunities

We understand that all environments are different, therefore meaning all programmes created will require a different approach for young people navigating key life transitions. All programmes are co produced with young people, ensuring their voices shape the content and approach so the support is truly relevant and responsive to their needs. They are designed to create safe, inclusive environments where young people are heard, supported, and empowered to thrive.

Beyond direct delivery, we use the insights gained through our work to inform broader systems change. We support adults including educators, mentors, and youth professionals with the tools, training, and understanding they need to better engage and support young people facing complex challenges.

All of our programmes are grant funded, and designed in close collaboration with education institutes, and community organisations to meet the unique needs of the young people they serve.

Youth Transitions in Sport Programme

Many young people exposed to multiple disadvantage drop out of sport between 16 and 19. Nearly 45% of youth athletes leave sport at this stage, and those from lower income or underrepresented backgrounds are most at risk. Without the right support, over 90% of those who leave elite pathways never return.

Our Youth Transitions Programme provides a framework that engages young people between the ages of 12 and 25 with their life transitions in order to prevent them from disengaging with elite level sport.

This programme is delivered through our pre, mid and post season workshops as well as formal individualised monthly check ins in addition to informal weekly check with all 15 athletes on the programme.

Carshalton Athletic Education Programme

Recent studies show that around 10–12% of 16–19-year-olds in the UK experience multiple disadvantage. These overlapping challenges can restful in devastating outcomes in the transition to adulthood.

We support the Carshalton Athletic Education Programme on a weekly basis with an intensive programme designed to support their young people (aged 16–19) particularly those that have experienced multiple disadvantage. In alignment with the education programme ethos, we support the young people with the tools to navigate key life transitions by providing tailored mentoring, workshops, and enrichment opportunities.

Our programme is designed to create a safe, inclusive space where young people build resilience, life skills, and ambition to succeed both on and off the pitch.
