Our programmes.
Joined-up support across sport, education, wellbeing and community.
One organisation, several joined-up services
People in our community face a mix of pressures — poor mental health, the risk of exclusion or being drawn into crime, family stress, housing insecurity, isolation. So we offer a mix of support, joined up in one place, delivered by people who understand.
Our programmes fall into six main areas. Many participants take part in more than one. Sessions are free or low-cost, open to all, and adapted to the needs of the group. Where a participant or family needs more than we can offer ourselves, we work in partnership with schools, the local authority, the NHS, housing providers and the police to make sure the right help is in place.
Health, fitness and sport
Stronger bodies, calmer minds, safer spaces to be
Open-access physical activity sessions for all ages and abilities, focused on improving physical and mental health, building confidence, and creating positive routines.
What we offer
- Football, basketball, cricket, hockey and multi-sport sessions
- Boxing and combat fitness sessions led by qualified coaches
- Strength and conditioning, fitness classes and active games
- Inclusive sessions adapted for participants with disabilities or additional needs
Education and alternative provision
Keeping young people in learning
Practical, supportive learning for young people at risk of exclusion or already outside mainstream education. We focus on confidence, basic skills and recognised qualifications — and on opening doors to college, training and work.
What we offer
- Alternative education sessions delivered with schools and local authority partners
- Study support and homework help
- Practical training that leads to recognised qualifications
- Skills development in literacy, numeracy, digital confidence and employability
- Coaching and leadership pathways for older young people
Mental health and wellbeing
Safe spaces to talk and tools to cope
Group and one-to-one support to help people manage anxiety, low mood and stress, build resilience and feel less alone. We are not a clinical service — but we are often the first step into one.
What we offer
- Group wellbeing workshops covering practical coping skills
- One-to-one support sessions in safe, confidential settings
- Open-door 'safe spaces' for participants who need a listening ear
- Signposting and supported referrals to specialist mental health services
- Wellbeing built into our sport, education and mentoring work — not treated as a separate thing
Mentoring and life skills
Trusted adults walking alongside young people
One-to-one and group mentoring for young people who need a steady, trusted relationship with a positive adult role model. Many of our mentors have lived through similar challenges themselves.
What we offer
- One-to-one mentoring with a named, DBS-checked mentor
- Group sessions on life skills: communication, teamwork, problem-solving, managing money
- Peer mentoring opportunities for older young people
- Goal-setting and progress reviews, agreed with each participant
- Support during transitions: secondary school, college, first job
Crime prevention and diversion
Honest conversations, real alternatives
Targeted support for young people at risk of being drawn into gangs, knife crime, county lines or other forms of exploitation. We combine honest education about consequences with real alternatives delivered through sport, mentoring and learning.
What we offer
- Workshops on the realities of gang involvement, knife crime, exploitation and online risks
- Group and individual mentoring with staff who, where appropriate, have lived experience
- Positive alternatives through sport, education and activity
- Joined-up work with West Midlands Police, Youth Justice and schools
- Family support around boundaries, communication and safety
Family and housing support
Practical help for families who need it
Information, signposting and practical support to help families manage everyday pressures — including financial wellbeing, debt advice and access to safe, secure housing.
What we offer
- Family engagement sessions and community events
- Signposting to debt advice and financial wellbeing guidance through qualified partners
- Housing advice and support to access safe, secure and suitable accommodation
- Help to understand and navigate council, NHS, school and benefits systems
- Practical support during family crisis
Honest, simple and useful
We are a new organisation, and we are building our impact framework from day one. Across all our programmes we will track:
- Who takes part — including how many people are reached, and how reflective that is of our community
- Attendance and retention — are participants coming back?
- Qualifications gained — for participants taking part in accredited learning or coaching pathways
- Wellbeing — using short, validated wellbeing surveys at start and end of programmes
- Progression — into education, training, employment, volunteering or further support
- Feedback from participants, families, partners and referrers
We will report openly on what we are learning, including what is not working as well as what is. Our first impact report will be published alongside our first annual accounts.
