Delivered by UK Youth in partnership with The Young Foundation, The Active Futures Cohort is a fully funded fellowship and development programme for organisations working with young people through sport, movement, and/or outdoor learning.
Not-for-profit organisations, charities, CICs, and groups in youth-work spaces are encouraged to apply, and will receive £15,200 to support participation, access needs, and travel costs.
The programme will take place across eighteen days over nine months, and combine in-person, online, and self-directed learning. It will also include residentials at Avon Tyrrell Outdoor Activity Centre.
Each organisation will nominate one staff member as a fellow – these individuals will have a passion for improving physical activity access for young people, especially those facing structural or social barriers to participation.
UK Youth are running a live Q&A webinar to support prospective applicants on Thursday 18th September at 1:30pm. Register here.
The deadline for applications is Thursday 25th September 2025 at 11am.
