Programme Overview
Funded by Blackpool Council and the Premier League Foundation, Tower Above provides 1:1 mentoring for children aged 8 to 12 who are referred to us through Blackpool Council’s Early Help and Support team. Using sport and physical activity to build trust and confidence, the programme works to prevent anti-social behaviour and keep young people on the right track.
Sessions cover a wide variety of topics such as resilience, healthy relationships, moral dilemmas, community safety and more. Sport and mentoring are combined and allows young people to build confidence, talk openly with a trusted adult and provide a way to positively foster their interests and talents. By engaging with Tower Above, it is hoped that young people will change their attitudes towards anti-social behaviour and access positive provisions that will continue to improve their personal development.
Funding contributions come from the Premier League Charitable Fund and Blackpool Council.
Currently, we are only accepting referrals from Blackpool Council’s Early Help & Support Team. For more information or to request a referral form, please contact: cohesion@bfcct.co.uk
