Generation Charnwood

Generation Charnwood will equip young people with the relevant skills, resilience and improved wellbeing to overcome the immediate impact of Covid-19 and develop a 'workforce for the future,' through improved access to physical activity, sporting and leadership opportunities.

The Youth Sport Trust in partnership with Active Together, are working with employers across the Charnwood area to create work placements and industry experiences as stepping stone to help people to move a step or even a big leap forwards into the world or work.
