The JU:MP Leads programme aimed to identify, train, and support local young people aged 16–25 years from the JU:MP area to become physical activity leaders (JU:MP Leads) in their community. The aim was to develop dynamic and inspirational local leaders who can be positive peers and contribute to the development of sustainable activity, creating a legacy in the JU:MP area. The project gave young people the opportunity to gain nationally recognised qualifications in sports and physical activity to equip them to engage inactive children and families in informal activity such as multi-sports and street games.
The JU:MP Leads have been recruited to be representative of the community they serve, with a focus on young adults from BAME communities and women and girls, as they are underrepresented in the field of sports and physical activity leadership. The JU:MP Leads programme was commissioned first in 2019-2021 and Bradford Youth Service trained ten 16-25 year olds from diverse backgrounds to become young leaders in sport and physical activity. A further 20 young people were trained through a partnership of local providers led by Street Games. This partnership of local providers helped to ensure a strong and sustainable legacy from the programme, with a number of the JU:MP Leads working for the local organisations and some have become social entrepreneurs.
