How we work 🪄
1
Youth co-creation is non-negotiable
We go well beyond consultation, we don’t tick boxes and we don’t cut corners when working with young people, everything is made with them, for them. If you work with us, you’ll do the same.
Our youth co-creation mindset, approach and methodologies make sure every young person we support receives respectful, culturally relevant and fun experiences.
2
Challenging charity conventions
We have integrity, a responsibility and instincts to do things differently to help young people, we just happen to be a charity.
Choosing to never stop learning about what makes young people tick means they interact with us as a charity, but also as fans.
3
Multi-disciplinary delivery
We are adaptable, organised, proactive and ambitious with what we deliver, because young people don’t just live a 9-5 life. Identifying and engaging with partner delivery providers to complement our support.
Our working practices and outcomes are creative, innovative and can be scaled to any scenario. Underpinned with end to end oversight, efficient project management and production.
4
Collaborating with young people you reach, for those that you don’t
We work directly with the existing young people you support to deliver our projects and programmes.
By co-creating with them, they feel empowered, but also become the connectors and catalysts for their friends, peers and those who are not yet engaged with physical activity.
5
Building a youth movement
We are actively creating a community of young leaders who are collectively responsible for themselves and for the next generations to come. Inviting every young person we help to be supported by us beyond their first interaction.
Starting with Coaches Corner, we also connect with other organisations’ youth boards, lassoing up the sport and sport-associated sectors – to create change, together.
6
Real impact measurement
We deliver the impact reports, but we also uncover and highlight individual stories of young people that have benefitted from our work. Discovering their commonalities to the next young person and the next – to evaluate, learn and continuously progress our support.
As a creative charity, we challenge ourselves on how we bring to life our impact and storytelling: photography, film, writing, podcasts, but always representing youth stories as youth stories.
