What it's all about
a youth sports and dance and drama project. however, i am only asking for funding for the specific sports element of my project.
i am setting up this project in corby northants with the support but not any funding from the school sports partnership. what i aim to do is to run the project for 13-17 year old young people. i particularly want to run the project for young people who truant, who are youth offenders or who have behavioural difficulties. want i want to do is run a series of courses which will give low achieving young people a leadership qualification in a particular sport, hopefully this will serve as a springboard for a positive post school outcome for the young people we meet, either assisting them in entering employment or further education.
i have sent emails to all the students on my particular modules, and i have had around 16 interested responses despite the travel, all of whom have said that they are happy to travel by train and get the connecting bus from kettering to corby.
i now also have premises in corby to run the project from and british gymnastics, the fa andengland hockey have also expressed interest in running courses for young people through this project.
the sport aspect of this 12 week project will run for 4 weeks over the course of the projects 12 weeks(i.e. they shall not run in one large block bt alternatively over the course of the 12 weeks).
dance and drama activities and courses will be run in the other weeks.
