MAKEEBO X SPORTAINMENT: YOUTH
We support disadvantaged, at risk and vulnerable young people (13 to 25) to feel confident, healthy and ready for their future. Our programme combines wellbeing and mental health support with practical help in education, careers and life skills.
Young people can access one‑to‑one guidance, mentoring, education and study support, as well as clear pathways into apprenticeships, work experience and paid employment.
We also offer a wide range of extracurricular activities, after‑school clubs and half‑term programmes designed to build confidence, friendships and new skills.
Our sessions are inclusive, youth‑led and designed to support those who may face barriers in school, work or everyday life. We welcome all young people who want a safe, positive space to grow, learn and thrive.
