About

Our mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and inspiring environment where young people can learn valuable life skills through golf, improve their mental and physical well-being, and re-engage with education and society.
We offer programmes of golf sessions delivered in partnership with England Golf, using the Golf Foundation’s ‘Unleash your Drive’ model, focusing on developing resilience and mental toughness in young people. The programme integrates golf with personal development and life coaching with the aim of improving lives of young people through improving attendance at school, developing positivity and general well-being, and raising aspirations.

  • Beginner golf lessons - delivered by a qualified golf instructor
  • Use of facilities at Cumberwell Park and several other local golf clubs
  • Child-centred mentoring
  • Delivery of the Golf Foundation's 'Unleash Your Drive' program, focusing on nine 'mental toughness' tools (Emotional Control, Self-Reflection, Positive Self Talk, Self-Compassion, Focus, Visualisation, Body Language, Achieving Personal Bests, Goal Setting)
  • Transport offered wherever possible
