Raasta Pathways
Your journey. Your way.
Personalised journeys, meaningful goals and neuroaffirming community support for young people aged 8–16.
A community interest company in Manningham, Bradford
Where communities connect.
Our Hub CIC is a Bradford-based social enterprise creating inclusive, neuroinclusive opportunities for children, young people and communities to learn, build practical skills and thrive. Through our two pathways, Raasta and SparkUp, we combine personalised community support with practical, school-based learning.
Two pathways. One approach.
Both pathways share the same strengths-based, neuroinclusive approach. Raasta is personalised around each young person; SparkUp brings the same thinking into the classroom.
Schools pathway
SparkUp Schools
8 skills. 64 challenges. Ready for life.
Practical skills, real-world challenges and inclusive personal development, delivered in schools by Our Hub facilitators.
How the two pathways work together. SparkUp is a paid programme for schools. The income it earns helps cover Our Hub's running costs, reserves and programme development, and, where it's financially viable, accessible community provision such as Raasta. Raasta is also supported by grants, partnerships and funded places.
Young people lead
We start with what matters to each young person, not a fixed list of things they must achieve.
A space that adapts
Choice, sensory awareness, breaks and different ways to communicate are part of the design.
Rooted in community
We're listening to Manningham families and exploring local partnerships to shape an accessible offer.
Who Our Hub is for

Raasta Pathways
An Our Hub programme
Six areas. Many ways forward.
Self, Senses, People, Everyday, Voice and Horizons help young people explore what matters to them. They do not have to follow a fixed order.
- SelfWhat matters to me?
- SensesWhat helps me feel comfortable?
- PeopleHow do I want to connect?
- EverydayWhat would make daily life easier?
- VoiceHow can people listen to me?
- HorizonsWhat would I like to explore?
A space for parents and carers matters too.
We hope to create opportunities for connection, informal conversation and signposting alongside young people's sessions.
