Are you a Community Group looking for alternative ways to engage your young people?

 

Then you’re in the right place!

Sporting Elite CIC is an alternative provision for community groups, providing sports and mentoring programmes that engage young people and help them to make better choices.

The truth is...

We both want the same things for our young people... 

  • You want them to believe in themselves 

  • You want them to respect themselves and others

  • You want them to avoid risky behaviours and stay away from the wrong crowd 

But most of all...

 

  • You want them to make better choices.

But without the right environment, the right support and positive role models

Making better choices will be near impossible for young people

And that's why...

 

Sporting Elite CIC works with Community Groups, to provide alternative provisions that engage young people 

Where they'll be around positive role models, in safe and supportive environments and getting the support they need.

Making it easier for your young people to make better choices.

Sporting Elite’s Professional Mentors work with children and young people to help them build self-confidence, develop resilience, avoid risky behaviours, and help them to make better choices.

Our mentoring programme supports Community Groups, Schools, Parents and other organisations in helping them to provide safe alternatives that engage their young people.

 

What is mentoring

 

“Mentoring is a partnership between two people built on trust.

 

It is a process in which the mentor offers ongoing support and developmental opportunities to the mentee. Addressing issues and blockages identified by the mentee, the mentor offers guidance, counselling and support in the form of pragmatic and objective assistance.

 

Both share a common purpose of developing a strong two-way learning relationship.” (Jenny Sweeney, quoted in Keele University document, 2014).

What Our Clients & Partners Are Saying About Us...

R. Felton, West Midlands Police

The Safe Haven Team consists of three Police Officers working for West Midlands Police, under the Birmingham Partnerships banner.

 

We work alongside trusted partners in delivering a positive approach to diverting young people away from crime and violence, through the engagement of sport and mentoring with Sporting Elite CIC.

Sporting Elite delivers an amazing service both on and of the pitch and we would not hesitate to work with them in the future

M.Parnell, Newbury School

Sporting Elite exceeded our expectations with their mentoring programme. They provided a safe space for students to express  their feelings


Their great advice and feedback positively impacted the choices that the students made.
.

We would recommend Sporting Elite to other organisations and we would welcome them back to deliver their mentoring sessions in the future.
 

J. Graham, Street Games

The difference that sets Sporting Elite CIC apart from many organisations that I work with is their ability to provide consistent delivery of safe, high quality and engaging provision

Their mentoring and employability work has directly reduced the number of young people in the Perry Barr area that are involved in gang-related crim.

 

I can now see a pathway where some young people who have been impacted by gangs are becoming able to positively mentor the next generation
 

Mentee

If you ever told me last April I would be like this I wouldn’t believe you.

I was in a dark place when I first met my Sporting Elite Mentor and since then I have changed a lot.

He checks in on me and got me to go the gym and involved in sports

He has strong family values and reinforces these when talking to you
He is relatable and understands a lot of the things I’ve been through 

 I feel like he genuinely cares about what happens to me and is a face you can trust.
