F4YP provide a vibrant and empowering support service to young people. We offer fun, educational and accessible opportunities, developing self-esteem, confidence and resilience. We aim to inspire young people to reach their potential by creating trusting, non-judgemental environments that are inclusive, nurturing and respectful, thus enabling them to make positive contributions to society in spite of any barriers that they may face.

We welcome young people from across Bedford and surrounding areas, in school years 1 to 11. The majority of our places are available to those who meet our bursary criteria, ensuring equal opportunities for all.

Through our support service we deliver after school and holiday programmes. These are informed by our young people and adapted to suit their individual needs. We tackle issues such as bullying, isolation and social skills, while promoting positive well-being, communication and relationship building. Our pastoral team work alongside families, schools and support agencies to ensure the needs of our young people are met. Additionally, we work alongside Bedford Borough Council delivering the Holiday Activity and Food Programme (HAF) during school holidays, these places must be booked directly through the council using E-Voucher codes.
