Inspiring Young People
Our young peoples' programmes strengthen the great work local youth clubs deliver
Try hard at school vs truant with their friends. Get outside and exercise vs sit and watch TV. Drink in the park on a Friday night vs play sports.
Going to youth clubs inspires young people to take the right path. Not only are youth clubs somewhere to go, they build young people's self esteem, and give them the chance to keep fit and learn new skills.
We manage, fund and run lots of programmes to bolster the hard work local youth clubs do, giving young people even more opportunities to get involved with healthy, inspiring activities.
As part of our annual programme of activities, young people from our member clubs can take part in projects in four areas:
Healthy Lifestyles
We manage and run programmes to improve young people’s health, including football, cricket, dance and boxing initiatives. We also run projects to support young people’s emotional well-being and to protect the environment.

Creative Arts
Arts projects are a great way to get young people excited, inspired and give them ideas for their future. That’s why we fund local projects to run initiatives where young people can try out everything from fashion design and painting to poetry and photography.
