The idea is for locals both children and adults to come and enjoy getting fit and active in a fun way, by meeting others. We also want to improve members' self-esteem, mental health and wellbeing
The aim of the project to create a safe, enjoyable environment for local people to dance and keep fit through some structured classes and activities. This will include developing themed activities such as exploring how we can help the environment e.g. in local parks tidying or accessing the space and meeting other locals to engage in positive activities. We want to help offer volunteering and training opportunities for local members, whom maybe looking for ways to find employment but lack experiences and or qualifications. The weekly sessions will allow local children and adults to have access to improve their confidence, health and build stronger relationship with those living, working within our local communities such as Church Street Ward areas. PTSA has already a established membership over 350 plus with large percentage of these children and young people representing a diverse social background both male and female.
What we'll deliver:
Why it's a great idea:
This project will focus on young people and adults, participants will come from Church Street ward areas. We maybe explore others members of Westminster areas if local wish to invite a friend for moral support. Therefore the benefiting participants will be impacting the community and local businesses nearby. The togetherness of Church Street will be demonstrated by locals promoting their photos or footage in many ways socials, media - empowering participants to share their stories. We hope will help with loneliness, metal health and wellbeing as well as building new friendship. Bringing our community people together from all diverse and social backgrounds, creating a more inclusive community especially at a time like now with equality issues and conflict. Lockdown, has affected us all, increasing people's mental health including the adults / families with unemployment rising each and every week and Covid-19 causing many to have metal breakdown.
Steps to get it done:
We intend to share the project story and progress across our social media @protouchsa sometimes going LIVE on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter to engage with the donors to see how you funds are impacting on our project members and the wider community. This would be of course in with GDPR and ensuring our members are happy to be on social / live recording.

VolunteerPro Touch SA (PTSA)
PTSA is an organisation which was established in February 2006 and marks its 15th Anniversary in 2021.
The national award winning charitable social enterprise that manages both the Academy and Community programmes across London. As a not-for-profit organisation, we re-invest all profit back in to the programmes we operate across London. The organisation is run by London based sports professionals as well as and community youth-friendly people, the staff and management are highly skilled and offer a variety of experience. They range from Football Association (FA) coaches to qualified youth, sports and fitness workers from the fields of school education and sports management.
Aim of the Academy
Pro Touch SA has been set up to deliver two key agendas:
The first is to help, support and encourage potential young, gifted and talented football players. PTSA wants to create and give opportunities for these young people to access "the bridge and experience to professional football";
The second aim is to work under the Pro Touch Community (PTC) umbrella towards the Government’s five key points:
The Objective
The Academy and Community will work very closely with the young people and their families to improve their individual needs by developing programmes which will enhance and strengthen their weaknesses and overall football/sports potential. This will involve a variety of topics and workshops such as fitness, intensive exercise, anti-racism, drugs awareness, culture and attitude, along with informal education within the field of sports. This will hopefully give some of the less confident young people the self esteem and belief that sports can be played by anyone and everyone within a safe and enjoyable environment.
The organisation currently delivers programmes across eleven different Broughs, consisting of activities and sessions 7 days a week, over 60 indiviual activities and sessions.
Pro Touch has been working across Church Street Ward areas for the past 5 years delivering community youth and sports activities and programmes often funded by Neighbourhood Keepers Fund (NK).
We have established local partnership with various community groups and organisation including Active Westminster, Four Feathers, Greenside Community Centre, WCC Housing Management, Church Street office, Gateway Academy
