Dale Futures

Based at Rochdale Football Club, Crown Oil Arena, we provide a safe, supportive environment where learners can rebuild confidence, re-engage with learning, and take meaningful steps towards academic, social, and                                                           emotional success.

We believe every young person deserves:

• To feel safe, valued, and understood
• To experience success in learning, no matter their past
• To receive consistent, individualised support from people who care

At Dale Futures, we build structured, inclusive, and aspirational pathways — helping young people transition successfully into further education, employment, or return to mainstream settings with confidence.
