Activity Providers

Get involved

STEPFWRD is seeking to collaborate with a wide range of activity providers across Sunderland and South Tyneside, and nearby areas, to ensure that young people have access to a rich and diverse selection of opportunities.

We invite activity providers to partner with us in the following ways:

01

Feature your activities:

Share details about the clubs, programs, or activities you offer outside of school, and we’ll include them in the STEPFWRD directory to help young people access your services.
02

Add community events:

Submit information about one-off activities, events, or open days.
03

Promote in-school activities or CPD opportunities:

If you offer school-based activities or staff development programs related to enrichment, we’ll highlight them to teaching staff via STEPFWRD.

Ways to get involved

Contact us by email to discuss how we can work together or to ask any questions. We can meet virtually or in person.

Email us details of your events or open days, and we’ll promote them through REACH and our partner schools.

Provide tasters for schools or enrichment-related staff training.

If any of your activities can be delivered at schools, let us know via the registration form below.

Offer work experience placements or volunteering opportunities for students.

Take part in assemblies or career-related events like career fairs, speed networking, and mock interviews.
