Organisation description: The Rio Ferdinand Foundation works with young people aged 14-25 and uses sports, media and the creative arts to motivate and engage young people to help tackle social issues important to them and to provide a pathway for youth development.
Our mission is to inspire young people and give them the tools they need to tap into their talents and reach their potential. Our vision is to help create confident and skilled young people who are able to build a brighter future for themselves and their communities.
We believe that with the right support, role models, and opportunities, young people can achieve great things. To this end, our work unites the efforts of a host of partners across Salford, who share our vision and offer a range of education and employment pathways for our young people. Each young persons’ journey with us is as unique as they are and based on their individual skills and motivations.
