Activity Agreement hubs

No One Left Behind (NOLB) Activity Agreements are for young people who aren’t feeling confident about their next step to college, training or employment. They help to build new skills and increase levels of confidence.

An Activity Agreement is an individual package of activity and learning that is built around your needs and interests. This could be a range of activities - music, arts, sport, outdoor activities - and you can suggest things yourself. The aim is that you will be more confident and feel ready to take the next step into further education, training or employment. 

To be eligible, you must be aged between 15½ and 26 years and not be in a job, education or training.

You will have regular support from a NOLB Activity Agreement Coach and work on an individual plan that will help them to reach your goals. You may also be eligible for Educational Maintenance Allowance.
