Fishwick Rangers YDS is a local community organisation based in the Fishwick area of Preston. It began in September 2001 as a football club, but has now expanded into a Youth Development Scheme.

The organisation provides new and diverse interests and activities for young people, so they are diverted away from crime and drugs. It also aims to provide them with enjoyment and satisfaction, giving the opportunity to be part of the community. The scheme will enable them to gain key skills in teamwork, communication and build self-confidence. 

Fishwick Rangers has had a successful track record in the football initiatives it has taken part in, notably being Summer Splash champions two years in succession. One of the most important developments of the scheme is the introduction of the Homework Club, which will assist with the educational needs of young people.   

The members and volunteers of the group are very keen and enthusiastic and without their valuable time the scheme would not have achieved the many successes to date.
