Our Impact
MORE THAN SPORT.
IT’S WHAT HAPPENS NEXT.
Since 2003, young people have come through The Urban Fitness Collective to take part, volunteer, learn, train, gain qualifications, work, lead and create opportunities for others.
For Tuf*C, impact is not measured by participation alone. It can also be seen in the skills developed, responsibilities taken on, qualifications achieved, opportunities accessed and the young people who go on to support others.
Every journey is different, but the principle remains the same: sport can be the starting point for something that continues far beyond the session.
TWO DECADES OF OPPORTUNITY,
PROGRESSION AND COMMUNITY IMPACT.
IMPACT AT A GLANCE

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT
FROM TAKING PART TO
CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS.
There is no single route through Tuf*C. Every young person starts from a different place and progresses at their own pace.
For some, taking part leads to volunteering. For others, it can open the door to training, qualifications, mentoring, paid work or leadership. As experience grows, young people can take on greater responsibility and begin supporting others.
01 — TAKE PART
Engage through sport, activity and opportunities within the community.
02 — GET INVOLVED
Build confidence, relationships and experience by volunteering and taking on responsibility.
03 — LEARN & DEVELOP
Access training, mentoring and opportunities to develop practical and personal skills.
04 — GAIN QUALIFICATIONS
Work towards recognised qualifications that support further progression.
Progress into paid opportunities, coaching, delivery and leadership.
05 — WORK & LEAD
06 — CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OTHERS
Use experience, skills and leadership to support the next generation.
The pathway is not always linear, and not every young person will follow every stage. What matters is that there is somewhere to progress when they are ready.
That is how the Tuf*C cycle continues: opportunity creates experience, experience develops leaders, and those leaders help create the next opportunity.
PEOPLE & COMMUNITIES
IMPACT THAT CONTINUES BEYOND THE SESSION.
The impact of The Urban Fitness Collective can be seen in the people who have developed skills, gained experience, taken on responsibility and continued to contribute through sport, youth work and community delivery.
Tuf*C has delivered opportunities across community settings, schools, programmes and local venues, creating different ways for young people to participate and progress. Some remain connected through volunteering, coaching, mentoring or delivery, helping create opportunities for those coming through after them.
EVIDENCE & REPORTING
UNDERSTANDING WHAT HAPPENS BEYOND ATTENDANCE.
The Urban Fitness Collective looks at impact through more than the number of young people attending a session. Depending on the programme, this can include participation, training, qualifications, volunteering, employment, leadership and other forms of progression.
Young people’s experiences, programme feedback and information from partners also help build a clearer picture of what opportunities have led to and where the work can develop next.
HELP CREATE THE NEXT OPPORTUNITY.
Tuf*C works with organisations that want to create meaningful opportunities for young people through sport, training, development and community delivery.
Whether through partnership, funding, commissioning or collaborative delivery, we welcome conversations about what we can build together.
