Our services
Supporting Communities was born out of our sister organisation Sporting Communities. Whilst engaging young people and communities in sport, physical activity and the creative arts, it was identified that to make a true difference to people’s behaviours, wrap around support was required.
As such the organisation provided mentoring, family support and training to broaden and enhance young people’s life chances. This grew even more to include community mediation between groups of young people and between young people and the wider community which gave birth to the Community Reassurance programme, which was developed with Derbyshire police and OPCC.
Youth Support
Our Youth Support Services offer bespoke 1-1 interventions for young people aged 11-19 (up to age 25 for SEND) to encourage, inspire and promote behavioural management, social and emotional support, and decision-making strategies for individuals to reach their full potential.
We strive for young people to excel academically, socially, and personally whilst considering contextual safeguarding factors to deliver support in the appropriate environments best suited to the young persons’ needs. This support will lie in the community or educational setting.

COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Our community support team operates various programmes, including detached youth work, mobile youth provision, and outreach initiatives. These efforts aim to engage with young people where they are, creating positive relationships and providing guidance.
Additionally, we deliver group sessions designed to support individuals at risk, addressing concerns such as poverty, health issues, social challenges, crime prevention, and overall well-being. Our goal is to create safe spaces within the community where people feel welcomed, supported and offer pathways of support when needed.
