The programme provides mentoring for young people aged 11 to 19 who have faced personal challenges or disadvantages. Students are paired with the specially trained mentors who have competed at world-class sporting events and have overcome their own personal challenges. 

Janice Norman, sports coordinator at Park Community, said: '˜This is an amazing opportunity and one that our students would ordinarily never have had the chance to be involved in.'
