About Us
Based in Bristol, Sporting Chance Project is passionate about every child's education and life journey. We support young people who face challenges with mainstream school, including Special Educational Needs, across Bristol and the surrounding area.
What we do
Sporting Chance Project is an independently run project based in Bristol, aiming to meet the educational, employment and lifestyle needs of young people across Bristol and the surrounding area — including South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and Bath & North East Somerset.
We offer education, mentoring and life skills support for young people aged 5 to 19 and operate as an Alternative Learning Provider. We support young people who struggle in mainstream school, including those excluded from school or at risk of exclusion, and those with SEN, an EHCP, or social and emotional needs.
Sporting Chance Project was formed in September 2012 and has evolved from delivering within schools, special educational needs schools (SEN), further education establishments and young offenders institutes.
The project delivers a range of pathways for all young people with bespoke outcomes to meet individual needs. This includes mentoring, life skills coaching, education transition, vocational learning, work experience and employment pathways.
Our aim is to enhance positive student experiences to meet the demands of the ever-changing social, community, educational and employment environments.
Where we work
Our base is in Brislington, Bristol (Emery Road, BS4). We deliver mentoring, alternative learning provision, and construction workshops for young people, families, schools, and local authorities across Bristol and the surrounding area — including South Gloucestershire, North Somerset, and Bath & North East Somerset.
Throughout my son's educational years, I have had to fight with professionals to get him an education. I was not one of these parents who didn’t care. Without your support, hard work and compassion, my son wouldn’t be the happy, vibrant lad he has become. The bond and trust he has with his SCP mentor is amazing. I have to say he is a credit to Sporting Chance. You both worked your socks off for months to get my son this happy. I will be eternally grateful. Your company goes above and beyond. Thank you, Tony. Your support has changed my son's life
