Positive Futures is a national programme which works with communities to get young people involved in sports, art and learning opportunities. It operates in some of the most deprived areas of England and Wales.
Positive Futures
In partnership with the Sports Industry Research Centre at Sheffield Hallam University, Substance has led the monitoring and evaluation of the Home Office funded Positive Futures programme, managed by Catch 22, since April 2006.
Each Positive Futures project receives training to support the use of the Substance Project Reporting System, empowering managers and project workers to take ownership of their monitoring and evaluation processes and to generate a detailed understanding of the impact of their work.

Testimonial
“Positive Futures has been committed to finding the most appropriate ways to highlight the impact of the wide range of diverse local projects that make up the national programme. Crucially through the programme’s state of the art, web-based monitoring and evaluation systems, this approach has enabled Positive Futures to capture the finer detail of young people’s engagement and progression and the programme’s fit with a wide range of government policy agendas”
