All the young people we spoke to felt that the lack of clarity around the lockdown presented challenges, not just for young people from their communities but for young people generally. The rules about social distancing felt overwhelming and difficult to remember and this led some young people to feel anxious when going outside. We are of the belief that sport has a unique ability to bring about transformation to the most complex of social challenges. Our positive and well targeted early sports and community interventions will divert vulnerable young people at risk of escalating from anti-social or challenging behaviour into committing crime. It creates community cohesion and helps breaking down barriers. Positive role models can play a big part in keeping young people out of trouble. We believe sport and movement have the power to help young people live positive futures and learn self-belief, self-control, discipline and life skills.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
The benefits with our project will offer the children a sustainable future, trusting the community again having hope that people are still out there and there are not along building there self confidence and leaving a lot more in skills in football with mixed martial arts learning them understand of fighting and it’s not always the way to go. Making new friends and taking away the animosity between groups of teenagers.
