More about our impact

More about our impact

The environment

The environment

Young people from urban areas gained a new appreciation for the countryside. They were encouraged to clean up the field, follow the countryside code and respect wildlife. We arranged and provided collective transport (minibus/coach) to avoid individual car journeys.

Volunteering, jobs & education

Volunteering, jobs & education

Feedback from the young people and their parents and youth leaders shows that the young people had gained in confidence as a result of pushing their boundaries and trying new activities. They improved their social skills by being involved in team activities and working together. This life skill is important in entering into employment and in the world of work in general.

Arts, culture & heritage

Arts, culture & heritage

The project was primarily a sports, recreation and leisure one; as such there is no identifiable link to arts, culture and heritage.

Activity, health and leisure

Activity, health and leisure

Young people have enquired about returning to do these activities again and are also open to trying new sports activities as a result of their improved confidence in successfully trying new sports.
