Positive Futures is an activities based social inclusion programme which aims to build positive relationships with young people – recognising that there are no quick wins. The Programme is delivered locally, in the North of the City, through partnerships with charities, schools, and police.

The project moves beyond just participation in sport and physical activity, it delivers guidance on substance misuse, education and other issues/interventions which are appropriate to the young people. The project offers young people a range of opportunities to access suitable information, advice and guidance.

Positive Futures makes a difference to young people’s lives: it respects young people, helps them widen their horizons and achieve their potential. It offers opportunities for the young people to gain accreditation across a wide range of schemes, expanding their personal and vocational horizons. The programme uses sport and physical activity as a catalyst to encourage participants to make decisions for themselves, taking steps towards a positive future, steering young people towards educational and employment opportunities.
