What's Going On?

Spanning nine months, the programme combines in-person, online and self-directed learning. Fellows will work alongside young people and peers from across England to co-design inclusive, community-rooted ideas that promote equity and wellbeing through physical activity.

This is more than a training programme — it’s a collaborative space for learning, action and innovation

Who Can Apply?

The Active Futures Cohort is open to organisations across England who are:

• Charities, not-for-profit organisations, or Community Interest Companies (CICs)
• Working in youth work, sport, or outdoor learning
• Able to demonstrate at least two years of delivery experience with young people
• Delivering work aligned with the Physical Literacy Consensus Statement for England
• Holding appropriate safeguarding policies and public liability insurance

Each organisation will nominate one staff member to take part in the programme as a fellow. Fellows should have a passion for improving physical activity access for young people — especially those facing structural or social barriers to participation.
