Darren Foster
Founder
At Make A Difference (M.A.D), our mission is to empower individuals and communities through positive action, creativity, and compassion. We are dedicated to creating safe, inclusive, and inspiring spaces where young people can express themselves, learn, heal, and grow. Through our unique blend of sports therapy, music, art, education, and outreach programs, we aim to break cycles of violence, exploitation, and marginalisation.
We believe that every young person deserves to feel valued, heard, and supported — and that real change begins with real connection. That’s why M.A.D exists: to be the difference in a world where too many feel left behind.
Kerry Cassidy
Co-founder
M.A.D is not just a name — it’s a call to action. In today’s society, too many young people face challenges such as knife crime, exploitation, mental health struggles, and social exclusion. These aren’t just problems — they are cries for help, and M.A.D is here to answer.
By making a difference, we are building a future where every child has the tools and support to thrive. We believe small actions create big ripples — and together, those ripples can transform lives.
We are here to inspire change, restore hope, and build stronger communities — one life at a time. Because making a difference isn’t just important — it’s essential.

Lauren Blount
Sports Coach
Teaching kids sports is more than just a passion for me—it’s a way to help shape their future. I believe sports teach valuable life lessons like discipline, respect, and teamwork. By guiding young athletes, I aim to keep them on the right path, helping them build confidence, stay focused, and make positive choices both on and off the field.
