Who Are NTF?

NTF is a not-for-profit-making Social Enterprise, who create, support and fund a wide variety of youth projects across the UK.

With the ultimate aim of building safer communities through prevention, we have identified who is the most likely to commit crime and who is the most likely to become a victim of crime. The answer to both, is young people aged 13-25, during what is often referred to as ‘Transition to Adulthood’.

We have learned that there is not ONE programme or method that is full-proof in engaging this age group of people; of course everyone’s parental influence, circumstances and experiences make them individual and unique.

To diversely target this age group; we focus on six core projects:

• Amateur Boxing
• Parkour
• Boxercise Classes
• Rock School
• Entrepreneur Courses
• Club Innocence

Once engaged in a core project, NTF in partnership with the local community provide the following simple awareness courses to tackle the most relevant issues for that group/individual:

• Anti-Social Behaviour
• Bullying
• Racial/Cultural/Religious Awareness
• Pizza’s & Peelers (A relaxed Q&A with the local police force whilst
enjoying a Pizza Delivery)
• Drugs & Alcohol
• Sexual Health – (Primarily targeting Underage Pregnancy/STI’s & STD’s)
• Street Safety – Self Defence
• Obesity – Health & Fitness

NTF’s success in the delivering of these programmes is of thanks to the local community representatives who are much more aware of their young people’s specific needs and tailor make the approach required to make each awareness programme a success.

NTF Programmes have proven to have a direct positive social impact not only for the young people involved during these crucial years of ‘Transition to Adulthood’ but also for their relationships, families and their surrounding community as a whole
