Community Connect Foundation

We will carry out multi sports, ranging from football, sparring to general fitness programmes and issue and target based workshops. Fun and interactive engagement sessions ranging from arts and crafts, skills development, confidence building to mentoring and advisory services providing guidance to young people transitioning from secondary to further education and apprenticeship opportunities. The types of activities we will provide will also include eating a variety of nutritious snack foods every day, plan meals each week allowing young people to learn new skills and creating tasty meals. The club interaction activities include physical wellness activities which includes a range of multi sports, hobby craft activities, model making, discussing mental health, issue and target based topics, such as bullying, crime, stress and online internet safety. We will organise and deliver fun and engaging activities which create challenges for young people to problem solve on their own initiative as well as problem solve working with others. The activities will allow inclusivity for all attendees enabling them to interact with others, make new friends and develop social bonding skills. Our activities will empower young people and exercise their brains, young people will also learn how to create simple meals, having fun with nutrition, preparation of breakfast and other meals. We will encourage participation by offering treats and rewards to young people, ensuring young people engage, attend regularly and participate in sessions and we will carry out feedback after each session to capture what young people have understood about nutrition and food budgeting, how resilient they are and how their character has developed over the holiday period.

We want to offer as many opportunities as possible to the young people, therefore creating an impact and noticing a difference in a young person’s character and skills ability. We want to see young people engage in fun and interactive activities, as its the holiday period, instead of young people sitting at home, we want them to stay active, eat well and be social and engage with their peers, build on their social and character development skills. Our centre is ideally situated to create that environment as we have trained staff and centre provision with all the youth club resources for young people to use and learn whilst having fun and rewarding time at our centre. Our enrichment activities include physical as well as education allowing young people to extend on their capacity and broaden their understanding and knowledge. We want young people to eat well stay fit and healthy, and exercise their mind as well as their body. We will promote healthy eating foods and drinks at the club, create a culturally inclusive food and drink environment. Create positive eating habits. These activities are excellent ways for young people to develop an appreciation for a variety of foods. We will provide a number of issue and target based workshops, provide mentoring sessions and life coaching sessions for young people moving on from primary age to secondary age to young adulthood.
