The Active Futures Programme which is part of the work that UK Youth are undertaking as a Sport England System Partner. Similar to the Sport England Patchwork programme UK Youth are looking for a number of Youth Providers (third sector/ community organisations and / or strategic youth partnerships) to join them as part of a learning series integrating change to include positive experiences of physical activity for young people in communities.

The programme comes with capacity funding and a training programme for one member of staff to attend from each successful application. I am happy to have a conversation with anyone thinking of applying to this to discuss further if you would be keen. Please feel free to share across your networks and youth partnerships locally.

It could be worthwhile a partnership approach through one organisation which supports youth provision across the whole of a district or could also be suitable for individual organisations to apply. It is very much a test and learn pilot programme to increase physical activity opportunities locally for young people that are suited to their needs.
