Al Madina’s sports programme aims to equip participants with a sporting attitude that stays with them and supports them for the rest of their lives. It has diversity and inclusion at its heart with an overall aim to promote personal development through one-to-one and team engagement facilitated by experienced trainers and mentors, with a view to focusing their attention on positive future goals and provide a safe and most importantly, a reliable and continuing space for them to address their individual concerns. By personally developing and supporting the youth engaging in the sports programme, the organisation has been able to provide them with the confidence and ability to engage in positive activism within the community and be empowered to speak out and be resilient to many things including extremist rhetoric. 

Our youth programme is exciting and designed to identify, train and deliver tomorrows leaders. It is our youth who will safeguard our work and our futures and therefore investing in them is off paramount importance. Through our inclusive sports delivery we have been able to access not only the disillusioned and disenfranchised youth within the Muslim community but also those from diverse communities who have been welcomed into our family and today make up the rainbow of participants engaging without barriers.
