What it's all about

[b]The idea:[/b]

[i]A chairty fundraiser for Spinal Research, basically, a kids day where they come and play games! [/i]

Children; of primary school age, would come to the event and just play active games for a whole day.
[b]Coming to playing games, [/b]not the regular football, basketball etc, but [b]things like steal the balls, Octopus tag, dodge ball etc[/b]. These games would form the fundamentals of mainstream sports, but in a fun setting. There would be small scale competition, but not in such a serious sporting way. The games would incorporate aspects from sports but are less rigid and formal for younger kids who would learn that activities and exercise are fun!

[i]Each child would be asked to bring a ball (with their own name on), of any sort, which would then be used during the day.[/i]

A few organisations have already been contacted for raffle prizes.

What's needed to make it a reality

A sports hall and some sporting equpiment (cones, balls etc) and the kids of course!

    As you are a student at Nottingham Trent University you can get up to £750 in funding and support from me, the Volunteer Support Worker!

    Sounds like a fab idea! Can't wait to meet you to find out more and hopefully get you started.

    I'm in the Soap Station on Thursdays and Fridays - it would be great if you could pop in for a chat when you are free.

    Catie
