The @Life Sports Mentoring Programme
Works with schools and young people at risk of leaving mainstream education and encourages participation and lifelong learning.
The programme is based around a range of sporting activities and provides pracitical and fun education programmes along with specific mentoring support to ensure positive and effective change. Throughout the programme we aim for young people to develop emotionally and socially, increase drug & alcohol awareness, improve health, finance and budgeting skills, employability skills and other practical life skills.
