The Empowering Young Champions (EYC) Project is a family run CIC that aims to support 12-25 year olds affected by multiple disadvantage through delivery of high quality interventions and presenting evidence based outcomes to advocate for systems change.

They have been operating for 5 years but decided to register as a CIC in November 2024.

Services offered are as follows:

• Bespoke programme delivery for young people experiencing multiple disadvantage for a minimum of one academic year.
• 1:1 and group mentoring for talented young athletes experiencing multiple disadvantage for a minimum of one sporting season.
• Phone consultations to support teachers and youth workers with young people they are struggling with engaging.
• Short term group mentoring/programme delivery for young people. (This can vary depending on the need of the young people being supported and is unto the discretion of professionals I am collaborating with)
• Assemblies for young people.
• Training for professionals incorporating lived experience, professional and academic knowledge to support staff with understanding how to support vulnerable young people.
• Workshops for parents and carers on how to support their young person/people.

Partnership Working:

We have collaborated with schools, universities, colleges (secondary mainstream and Alternative Provisions), local authorities, probation services and community groups to support/advocate for young people and offer tailored support to young people, professionals and youth workers through our services offered. We are open to conversations around any collaborations to help young people fulfilling their potential and support education and youth work professionals in helping young people achieve this.
