connecting the dots
CHAMPIONS 4 CHANGE WELLBEING CIC
Champions 4 Change Wellbeing works alongside young people, families and communities to improve emotional wellbeing, build resilience and create opportunities for people to thrive.
Through mentoring, emotional support, physical activity and creative opportunities, we help young people develop confidence, strengthen positive relationships and access support that reflects their individual needs, strengths and aspirations.
Mission Statement
mission
Our mission is to support, empower and transform the lives of young people from disadvantaged communities through access to safe, nurturing environments, recreational activity, mentoring and emotional support.
We create safe, welcoming spaces where young people can feel heard, build confidence, improve wellbeing and develop the skills and relationships that help them move forward in life.
Everything we do starts with listening. What matters to a young person, what strengths they already have and what they would like to achieve help shape the support they receive.
We believe every young person has potential. Our role is to help them recognise their strengths, overcome barriers and take positive steps towards the future they want for themselves.
who we support
We support young people with a wide range of experiences, needs and aspirations.
Some come to us when life feels difficult and they need someone to talk to. Others come to build confidence, improve wellbeing, learn new skills, stay active or connect with others.
Young people do not need to meet a particular threshold or have everything figured out before asking for support.
Whatever brings someone to C4C, they will be welcomed without judgement and supported at a pace that feels right for them.
young people Services
Every young person is different, and what helps one person may not help another.
Some young people are looking for someone to talk to. Others want somewhere to be active, the chance to try something new, build confidence, meet new people or simply spend time in a place where they feel safe, accepted and able to be themselves.
At C4C, there is no single way to take part. We offer a range of activities and support that help young people strengthen their wellbeing, develop new skills, build positive relationships and explore their potential.
We take time to understand what matters to each young person and help them find the opportunities and support that feel right for them.
1-2-1 EMOTIONAL SUPPORT
Our one-to-one emotional support provides a safe and supportive space where young people can talk about how they are feeling, explore challenges they may be facing and reflect on what is happening in their lives.
By creating space to be listened to without judgement, we help young people build self-awareness, develop coping strategies, strengthen emotional wellbeing and feel more confident in managing the challenges they face.
We start by listening and work alongside each young person at a pace that feels right for them.
CREATIVE WORKSHOPS & HOLIDAY ACTIVITIES
Our creative workshops and holiday activities give young people opportunities to explore their interests, discover new talents, build confidence and connect with others in a welcoming and supportive environment.
Activities may include pottery, candle and soap making, podcasting, sewing and fabrication, creative dance and 3D printing.
Alongside having fun and learning new skills, young people are encouraged to express themselves, develop creativity, build social connections and experience a sense of achievement.
SEND BOXING EMPOWERMENT – PRIMARY & SECONDARY SCHOOLS
Our SEND Boxing Empowerment programmes are developed alongside school SENDCOs to create inclusive opportunities for young people with special educational needs and disabilities to enjoy positive physical activity during the school day.
Sessions provide structure, encouragement and routine while recognising that every young person learns, communicates and participates in their own way.
The programme focuses on strengths rather than limitations, helping young people build confidence, develop coordination, improve physical wellbeing and experience success at a pace that feels right for them.
Through positive encouragement and participation, young people are supported to increase self-belief, resilience and enjoyment of physical activity.
AFTER-SCHOOL BOXING & GIRLS BOXING ACADEMY
Our after-school boxing sessions provide young people aged 8-18 with opportunities to improve fitness, learn new skills and be part of a positive and supportive community.
Sessions help young people develop discipline, resilience, self-confidence and healthy routines while encouraging teamwork, respect and personal growth.
Whether someone is completely new to boxing or looking to build on existing skills, they are supported to learn at their own pace and challenge themselves in a safe and encouraging environment.
The focus is not only on physical activity, but also on helping young people grow in confidence, build positive relationships and believe in their own potential.
YOUNG CARERS BOXING EMPOWERMENT
This programme creates opportunities for young carers to focus on their own wellbeing, identity and personal development.
Through boxing, physical activity and shared experiences, young people can take time to be active, have fun, build confidence and connect with others who may understand some of the challenges they experience.
The programme helps reduce isolation, strengthen social connections and create opportunities for young carers to enjoy positive experiences outside their caring responsibilities.
Young people can take part without having to explain their situation or be defined by their caring role.
At C4C, we see each young person for who they are, recognising their strengths, interests and aspirations beyond the responsibilities they carry.

Celebrating Our Community
Real moments from our mentoring sessions, wellbeing activities, and youth programmes across the community.
our approach
Our work is person-centred, strengths-based and built on trust.
We take time to understand each person’s experiences, strengths, challenges and hopes for the future. Rather than focusing on what someone cannot do, we focus on their abilities, potential and what matters most to them.
We believe people should have a voice in decisions that affect them. That is why we work alongside young people and families to develop support that reflects their goals, choices and circumstances.
Success looks different for everyone. Progress might mean improved wellbeing, increased confidence, stronger relationships, greater participation, new skills or simply feeling more connected and hopeful about the future.
outcomes
We want every young person to leave C4C feeling stronger, more confident and better supported than when they arrived.
Depending on the programme, this may include improvements in emotional wellbeing, confidence, social connection, physical activity, resilience, trusted relationships and healthy routines.
Alongside measuring outcomes, we listen carefully to what young people tell us about their experiences. Their feedback helps us understand what made a difference, what could be improved and how we can continue to provide meaningful support.
By combining evidence, outcomes and lived experience, we strive to ensure our work creates lasting positive change for young people and their communities.
WORKING WITH OTHERS
We know that young people’s lives do not exist in isolation. Families, schools, community organisations, health services and local networks all play an important role in helping people thrive.
That is why we work closely with families, schools, health and social care services, local authorities, funders and community partners to provide joined-up support that is easier to access and understand.
Partnerships help us identify needs earlier, connect people to the right support and create stronger pathways for positive outcomes.
At the heart of every partnership is a shared commitment to helping young people feel supported, connected, valued and able to achieve their potential.
