We offer support and training to young people to help them develop into responsible and valued members of their communities and ensure that all young people have equal access to these opportunities.
Our staff team and volunteers support our member clubs with non formal learning opportunities such as Safer Internet use, Football Against Racism in Europe, Coding and Raise Your Voice.
We offer clubs the chance to participate in projects, informal workshops and our annual youth exchange with our German partners. We provide leaders and volunteers with access to training including Level 2 and 3 Youth Work Qualification.
We also provide clubs with advice on funding, sustainability and applying for charitable status.
