Feathers Outreach Programmes

The Feathers Association Strategic Growth Programme was launched in 2022 to widen the reach of the charity through partnerships, creating significant social impact in communities across the United Kingdom.

Below are just some examples of what has been achieved through our outreach programmes since the launch of the Strategic Growth Programme.

Greater Manchester Youth Network

The partnership with Greater Manchester Youth Network delivered a weekly drop-in Job Club for young people aged 16-25 in the Greater Manchester Area, offering employability support for CV reviews, job applications and interview training. In addition, it supported young people to access World of Work visits with corporate partners.

"This is a very helpful club, very reliable. It can help you cover every detail of finding a job, getting a job and keeping a job."

 

StreetGames Blackpool

StreetGames is a U.K. charity whose purpose is to bring sport to the doorsteps of young people from low-income households in underserved communities with the aim of creating happier, safer and healthier outcomes.

The Blackpool project was supported with much-needed resources from The Feathers Association to increase engagement and provide even more diverse and inspirational opportunities such as the Golf Foundation's "Unleash Your Drive" project which incorporated fun, active games with adapted equipment designed for beginners of all ages and designed to not only encourage activity but develop mental resilience. 

 

The impact of Feathers across the U.K. 

GYMN and StreetGames are just two examples of the organisations that The Feathers Association work with across the U.K. with the charity supporting over 20 organisations and reaching over 1,500 people from diverse backgrounds and needs. From education to employability, food supplies to healthy living, cities to towns, the impact that the charity has in the communities it serves is significant. 

The charity is continuing to look at new partnerships and expand the Strategic Growth Programme and we can only do this with help from our supporters. Find out below how you can support the important work of The Feathers Association below. 

 

Our Community Partnerships

At Feathers Marylebone, our work is strengthened through meaningful partnerships with local businesses, sports clubs and fellow charities.

By collaborating with like-minded organisations, we expand the breadth and quality of opportunities available to our members - creating enriching experiences, building confidence, and strengthening community connections.

If you are a local organisation of any size and share our commitment to supporting young people, we would love to hear from you. Together, we can make an even greater impact in our community.


Podcast Workshops

Bloomsbury Institute offers it's community Radio Presenter and Production Training. Through it's facility, "Bloomsbury Radio". Members cover all aspects of Music and Talk Radio plus Podcasts. In front or behind the mic, learn how to create great radio and podcast content from the Bloomsbury Institute's live Radio studio at Bedford Square, right in the heart of central London.

Community Cricket Sessions

We are proud to share a longstanding partnership with Marylebone Cricket Club and Lord’s, whose team delivers high-quality cricket coaching and engaging sports sessions for young people at Feathers Marylebone. Our members also benefit from memorable visits to the Home of Cricket — watching matches, exploring the grounds, and taking part in inspiring activities that broaden horizons and nurture a love of sport.
