Building Stronger Communities Through Youth Engagement
At First Kick Foundation, our youth groups and detached outreach work are a key part of how we support young people across our communities. With over 10 locations running each week, we provide consistent, safe spaces where young people can come together, build relationships, and take part in positive activities. These sessions are open, inclusive, and designed to give young people somewhere to go where they feel comfortable, supported, and valued.
Our youth groups offer much more than just activities – they create opportunities. Whether it’s through sport, conversation, or simply spending time in a safe environment, young people are able to develop confidence, social skills, and a sense of belonging. For many, these sessions become a routine they can rely on, helping to reduce isolation and provide structure during key times of the week.
Alongside our sessions, our detached youth work takes place out in the community – in parks, streets, and local spaces – allowing us to engage with young people who may not yet attend a group. This approach helps us build trust, offer support in real time, and connect young people into our wider provision when they’re ready.
Together, this work plays an important role in strengthening communities, reducing anti-social behaviour, and creating positive pathways for young people.
