Making a difference in the lives of young people
By making a contribution to the crowdfunding campaign, individuals, businesses, and the local community can directly support the Back on Track Mentor Programme and make a difference in the lives of young people in Warrington. The programme offers one-hour weekly sessions over an 8-week period at the Orford Jubilee, Warrington, where participants are assigned mentors dedicated to their personal development.
After the completion of the programme, ongoing support and encouragement will be provided to help participants continue their journey through the wide range of classes and sessions available at Orford Jubilee Hub.
The stories of Chloe (13), Taylor (14), and L (aged 13) highlight the significant impact of the Back on Track Mentor Programme.
“Back on Track has given me confidence and helped me to become fitter and more active!” – Chloe (13)
“The project has given me purpose and helped me to become more motivated. I have not been in school for over 8 months and this project has given me structure and routine” – Taylor (14)
“My son was in with the wrong crowd / banned from the Leisure centres and in the middle of a lot of police troubles before he was referred on to the project. Since then he has engaged in positive activities in the centres and has a great relationship with the staff and coaches. Without this project, he was only heading in one direction!” – Mother of L (aged 13)
LiveWire invites everyone passionate about empowering young people and fostering their personal development to contribute to the Back on Track Mentor Programme crowdfunding campaign. Together, we can transform lives and provide a brighter future for the youth in our community.

LiveWire works with young people across Warrington to promote positive mental and physical wellbeing through sport and activity.
Projects include:
- Back on Track (ages 12–18)
- Half Term Programme
- Chance to Shine
Click below for more information about our projects and how to get involved.
Back on Track is a youth sport, listening, and mentoring project that aims to provide young people aged 12-18 with a safe and supportive space to discuss any issues in their lives that are affecting wider aspects of their lives.
What are the aims of the project?
The project aims to break the cycle of negativity and apathy in young people’s lives by using sport and positive activities to develop sustainable pathways to a happier, healthier, and more prosperous future. The project is for young people who are having difficulties in their home life or education, those displaying challenging behaviours, feeling socially isolated, and those involved in behaviours associated with offending.
The project’s ultimate goal is to see lower high school dropout rates, healthier relationships and lifestyle choices, better attitudes about school, higher college enrolment rates, enhanced self-esteem and self-confidence, improved behaviour, stronger relationships with parents, teachers, and peers, improved interpersonal skills, decreased likelihood of initiating drug and alcohol use, better academic performance, and better school attendance.
Back on Track places are via referral, please contact Paul Flannery using the button below for more information.
The HAF programme recognises that the school holidays can be challenging for families, particularly those with low incomes. Such families face increased food and childcare costs and reduced incomes, leading to decreased access to out-of-school activities, inadequate nutrition, and physical health, and a higher likelihood of social isolation for children.
Therefore, the HAF programme is aimed at enabling children to eat healthier and be more active during the summer, be engaged in enriching activities, develop resilience, character, wellbeing, and educational skills, be safe and avoid social isolation, and increase their knowledge of health and nutrition.
LiveWire’s involvement in the HAF programme is a testament to our commitment to the community’s best interest. We run sessions during half term holidays across the academic year.
Spaces are limited, please contact Paul Flannery using the button below for more information.
