About Our Youth Support in Nottingham
At Protect Guide and Inspired, we’re passionate about youth development in Nottingham. Founded by Horace Francis, our work blends sport, local mentorship programmes, and support to build brighter futures.

From Vision to Action
Born out of a desire to use football for social change, our organisation quickly grew into a respected name in Nottingham’s youth support network.


Addressing Real Community Needs
Our programmes respond to the genuine challenges faced by local families and youth. We offer inclusive, respectful spaces for growth and empowerment of the youth.
Football as a Life Skill Tool
We use football to build discipline, teamwork, and pride. Each session helps youth improve physical health and mental resilience.
Powerful One-to-One Local Mentoring
We match young people with mentors who understand their journey. These relationships drive personal development, focus, and confidence.
Family Support for Lasting
Impact
We recognise that real progress happens when families are included. Our services extend to parents and carers across Nottingham.


Long-Term Youth Empowerment
Our goal is sustainable change. Whether through mentoring or skills development, we offer lifelong tools and consistent support.
