- Lisa Wild, Founder and Managing Director
Founded in 2025, Stride Alternative Provision is a dedicated service providing tailored support throughout the Greater Manchester and Lancashire area. We specialise in offering a bespoke, one-to-one approach to alternative provision, designed to meet the unique needs of each young person we work with.
At Stride, we recognise that every young persons journey is different. Through compassionate mentorship and individualised support, we address unmet social, emotional, and mental health needs to help young people navigate challenges and make positive life choices. Our commitment extends beyond the individual, involving families, schools, and the wider support network to ensure lasting, meaningful change. We are here to empower young people to take confident strides toward a brighter, more fulfilling future.
Our core values drive everything that we do
Bespoke support
We provide personalised, inclusive support tailored to each young person’s unique needs. Through one-to-one engagement, we understand their individual barriers and deliver bespoke guidance that empowers them. Working closely with families, schools, and communities, we ensure every young person feels valued, understood, and supported to thrive in all areas of life.
Enabling potential
We aim to unlock each young person’s potential through tailored interventions, guidance, and resources that build on their strengths and overcome barriers. Recognising that mainstream education doesn’t suit everyone, we provide alternative support to help them develop the skills and confidence needed to achieve their aspirations.
Empowering lasting change
We are committed to creating lasting change in young people’s lives. Our provision is not just about improving short-term educational engagement, it is about empowering young people to believe in themselves, advocate for their own futures, and step forward with the confidence and skills they need to succeed.
