Demand for our tailored holistic support has risen by 239% in the last four years.
Young people are feeling the brunt of multiple crises, but our decades of experience in empowering young people, challenging systems, and creating lasting impact means that we have the tools to help.
The Change Foundation was born out of the 1981 Brixton Uprisings, where anger, frustration, and unheard voices boiled over. A new youth cricket team arose, created by a university cricketer who decided to include rather than exclude, and provided a space where young people felt seen, empowered, and respected.
Since then, we have worked with over 255,000 young people around the world and across the UK. These young people often face challenges related to disability, crime, violence, childhood trauma, lack of skills, and mental health. Our programmes combine sport, mentoring, and lived-experience coaching to give them tools to transform their own lives.
Many of the next generation are understandably worried about their future, but our Social Change Coaches prove that better lives are not only possible but are in reach. By listening, understanding, and responding, we help them to imagine new futures, which not only transform their lives, but everyone's around them too.
