Who we are

Sheffield Futures supports young people to feel well, be active in their communities, and access the learning and employment opportunities that are right for them.

We empower each young person to build a positive future for themselves by providing youth-led, holistic and individualised support.

Support our work

We know that life can be tough and complicated.

For over 30 years, we’ve been here for young people. As their needs have changed, so have we.

From our drop-in wellbeing café to intensive counselling, from our homework club to one-to-one employment assistance, we champion the people behind the statistics.
