What we offer
Programmes built around young people
Every programme we deliver is grounded in relationship, trust, and a genuine belief in every young person's potential — whether in school, in the community, or beyond.
Every programme is underpinned by the Bridgepoint Model
Our programmes vary in format and intensity, but share the same purpose: helping young people develop the understanding, skills and relationships they need to make positive, sustainable progress.
One-to-one mentoring
Targeted, relationship-led support for young people facing barriers to engagement, wellbeing and progress.
Our one-to-one mentoring provides young people with consistent, trusted adult support tailored to their individual needs. Through structured, trauma-informed sessions, we address the factors behind behaviour, disengagement and emotional difficulty — helping young people develop the skills, confidence and resilience to make positive and sustainable change.
Outcomes
- Improved emotional regulation and resilience
- Increased engagement with education
- Improved behaviour and decision-making
- Greater confidence, self-awareness and aspiration
Small group mentoring
Structured group intervention developing the skills young people need to thrive in education and beyond.
Our small group mentoring brings young people together around shared areas of need. Through structured discussion, practical activities and guided reflection, participants develop confidence, communication, resilience, accountability and positive relationship skills - while learning from and alongside their peers.
Outcomes
- Improved communication and social skills
- Increased confidence and self-expression
- Greater empathy and conflict-resolution skills
- Improved teamwork, accountability and peer relationships
Future Leaders
Young people who are ready to be challenged, stretched, and supported to grow
Future Leaders is our structured development programme for young people with the potential to grow in confidence, responsibility and leadership. Through a progressive series of sessions, participants develop greater self-awareness, strengthen communication and decision-making skills, set meaningful goals and explore the role they can play in shaping their own future. This is mentoring with ambition at its core.
Outcomes
- Greater self-awareness and personal leadership
- Increased confidence and communication
- Stronger decision-making and personal responsibility
- Clearer goals, aspirations and future direction
Outreach mentoring
Flexible community-based mentoring for young people who need support beyond traditional settings.
Our outreach mentoring takes support to the young person - at home, in the community or another appropriate setting. Designed for young people who may struggle to engage with traditional services or require additional support outside education, our mentors build consistent relationships around the individual and their needs. Referrals can be made by families, schools, local authorities, residential settings and other professionals.
Outcomes
- Increased engagement with trusted adults and services
- Improved emotional wellbeing and confidence
- Greater independence and positive decision-making
- Progress towards individual education, wellbeing or personal goals
Player & Purpose Camp
Football is the vehicle. Mentoring is the framework.
Player & Purpose is our flagship school-holiday programme - a three-day camp using football as a vehicle to develop confidence, accountability, leadership and resilience.
About the camp
More than a football camp
The camp runs during school holidays and half terms, open to young people who want to develop on and off the pitch. Young people leave not just having played football, but having grown. Interested in bringing Player & Purpose to your setting? Player & Purpose can also be delivered in partnership with schools, trusts and organisations as a bespoke programme for their young people.
The 3-day journey
How each day works
Confidence
We kick off the camp by exploring what confidence really means — on and off the pitch. Young people set personal goals for the three days ahead, then take them straight into football drills and games designed to push them out of their comfort zone in a safe, supportive environment.
- Morning mentoring circle — setting the tone and personal goals
- Football drills and skill challenges focused on individual expression
- End-of-day group recap — what did confidence look like today?
Accountability
Day two shifts the focus to accountability — owning your actions, supporting your teammates, and understanding that how you show up matters. Activities are designed to build trust and responsibility within the group, with football as the proving ground.
- Morning mentoring circle — what does it mean to be accountable?
- Team-based football games and collaborative challenges
- End-of-day group recap — moments of accountability from the day
Leadership
On the final day we bring it all together under the theme of leadership. Young people are encouraged to lead from the front — in their team, in their community, and in their own lives. The day closes with our awards presentation, celebrating growth across all three days.
- Morning mentoring circle — what kind of leader do you want to be?
- Leadership-focused football activities and final tournament
- Awards presentation — Player of the Camp, Growth & Mindset trophy, and certificates of completion presented by a special guest

Where we work
Flexible delivery across settings
Our programmes are designed to work around the needs of each young person and setting. We deliver across mainstream schools, alternative provision, residential and community settings, with remote delivery available where appropriate. Programmes can be tailored around individual need, cohort priorities and organisational outcomes.
Evidencing impact
Measurable outcomes you can report on
Schools, local authorities and multi-academy trusts need to understand not only what support has been delivered, but the difference it has made. Our targeted mentoring programmes incorporate clear baseline measures, ongoing progress monitoring and outcome evaluation - providing meaningful evidence of each young person’s progress.
Baseline & Goal Setting
We establish a clear starting point with the young person and relevant professionals, identifying areas of need, strengths and agreed outcomes for the intervention.
Progress Monitoring
Mentors record progress throughout the intervention, tracking agreed goals alongside relevant indicators such as engagement, behaviour, attendance, wellbeing and personal development.
Review & impact report
At the end of the intervention, progress is reviewed against the original baseline and agreed outcomes, providing schools and commissioners with clear evidence of progress and recommendations for next steps.
What we measure

CLEAR. MEASURABLE. REPORTABLE.
Evidence that demonstrates progress.
Our reporting is designed to give pastoral teams, senior leaders and commissioners a clear picture of the intervention, progress made and recommended next steps.
