Home Education Hub – First Session

What a fantastic first session we had at our Home Education Hub!

The young people took part in a range of activities, including researching and creating a jungle scene, orienteering and strategy games. There was creativity, teamwork, problem-solving and plenty of opportunity to explore new interests.

The biggest positive was seeing friendships and relationships begin to form. Watching young people express themselves freely, feel comfortable in the space and enjoy the day with smiles on their faces was truly special.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make our first session such a positive experience. We’re already looking forward to welcoming everyone back.

📅 Our next session is this Friday, 18 September.

Tomorrow is the day!

After months of planning, conversations with families and getting everything ready, tomorrow we open the doors to our Active Futures Foundation Home Education Hub for the very first time.

We want to create a place where young people can connect, create, move and grow, making friends, trying new things and learning in a supportive, relaxed environment.

Whether your young person loves being active, getting creative, learning new skills or simply needs opportunities to connect with others, we’d love to welcome them.

📍 Longshoot Close, Scholes, Wigan, WN1 3NH
🕤 9.30am–2.30pm

There’s still time to join us tomorrow. 👇

COULD YOUR BUSINESS HELP CREATE A PLACE TO BELONG?

Home education is a positive and intentional choice for many families. For others, it can follow anxiety, unmet additional needs, difficult experiences in school or a prolonged struggle to access mainstream education.

Whatever brings a family to home education, every young person deserves opportunities to:

* Build friendships and feel part of a community
* Develop confidence and a sense of belonging
* Take part in sport, creative activities and new experiences
* Discover their strengths in a welcoming and understanding environment

Without accessible local opportunities, some young people can become increasingly isolated. Parents and carers can also find themselves carrying the responsibility for education, social connection and personal development with very little support.

Active Futures Foundation CIC is building a welcoming Home Education Hub in Wigan where young people can connect, create, move, discover and grow.

We have deliberately kept our fees affordable for families, but we need the support of local businesses to help us sustain and develop the Hub, subsidise places where cost is a barrier and provide a wider range of meaningful experiences.

We are inviting businesses to become Founding Partners:

▪️ £500 – Community Partner
▪️ £1,000 – Impact Partner
▪️ £2,500 – Founding Sponsor

In return, businesses will receive recognition, social-value impact updates and opportunities to visit the Hub and see the difference their support is making.

We are not looking for one company to fund everything. We want to build a network of local businesses that believe every young person deserves connection, opportunity and hope for the future.

If your business could support us, or you know someone who may be interested, please message us, share this post or contact:

- [email protected]
- 01942 318020 / 07841 021322
- www.activefuturesacademy.co.uk

Together, local businesses can help create somewhere young people feel understood, included and able to thrive.

Come along, meet us, meet some other Home Ed families and let your young person experience Active Futures for themselves. The more people we can get through the door, the better the atmosphere.

Expect opportunities to get active, create, make connections, try new things and follow interests, without trying to recreate school.

Half Day £20 | Full Day £30 | Memberships available

Our first session is Monday 14th September.
