Programmes and Support

We offer programme support and delivery, as well as individual support programmes and mentorship. We have a pathway of support across three target areas; community progression, sport advancement, career path and we do this across a variety of sports.

Programme support and delivery

We work with Westway Sport & Fitness centre to deliver a Community Progression Programme to a group of young local children. Westway introduced them to tennis through their outreach work and PPS provides free weekly tennis. This enables them to train regularly where they wouldn’t have had the chance to otherwise. From this successful programme in 2018-19, we then offered two young tennis players further individual support to help their progression through extra training and mentoring.

We could not be grateful enough for the support of Performance Plus, which has allowed Maximus more time on court with essential coaching. This will only help to develop his skills. We would not have been able to afford another session. This charity is a fantastic help for children such as Max. We appreciate your continuous support

Right Development Foundation are a basketball programme based in Barking, East London. They provide training and competing opportunities for young people in the area, and do an amazing job engaging hard to reach young kids at risk. PPS subsidises memberships for a selected group who would not be able to pay for the membership and therefore take part in a programme and sport that will socially change their lives. In 2018-19 we subsidised 13 memberships, creating 233 opportunities to train. This grew for 2019-20, as well as offering further support to the most deserving individual coming through this programme.

Individual Support Programmes

Susanna Banjo, 400m athlete and National Champion. We offered individual support to Susanna on the recommendation of StreetGames. Susanna is an ambitious athlete, with a world-class attitude looking to qualify for the Olympics 2021. We support her by funding her training camps, travel to competition and essential equipment. Susanna is mentored by PPS Trustee John Feaver, and in exchange for the support we provide, she delivers mentorship workshops to younger PPS supported programmes.

Lee Duncan is a young football coach, that came through our partnership with Centrepoint – a young homeless charity. After a tough journey in his early and teenage years, PPS are supporting Lee on his career path. We fund his coaching qualifications, as well as paying for his time as an apprentice coach.

Mentorship

Anthony Ozobuekwe is a basketballer from Nigeria living in London trying to get the best out of himself through sport. We support him by funding his annual registration to the league, without which he wouldn’t be able to compete. The other part of his funding goes towards integrating Anthony to act as a mentor in a refugee programme that we deliver in Croydon with B3. The young refugees can relate to Anthony, and he can help them by talking about various issues and helping them through his experiences.

Moses Swaibu acts as a mentor to young aspiring boxers that we support in Whitechapel, East London. Ex-footballer Moses can talk about the negative temptations that are around and advise on what it takes to get the best out of themselves.

Career Path delivery programme

PPS delivers Mentorship Workshops to lower-league football academies.

Here, important career messages are delivered and individual support is offered to any young footballers who want to put themselves forward and progress their career path.

Career Path Support Programme

PPS supports two young coaches from J&C Coaching, through individual mentoring and the funding of courses and qualifications, that wouldn’t have been gained otherwise.

The support will make these young people both more effective coaches and more employable in the future.
