Get Into Sports
Empowering young people through sports and physical activities not only benefits their physical health but also nurtures their mental, emotional, and social well-being. It equips them with valuable life skills, promotes healthy habits, and offers opportunities for personal growth. By investing in their physical empowerment, we invest in their overall development and set the stage for a healthier and brighter future.
1. Support for Young Refugees with Mental Health
By providing comprehensive mental health support for young refugees, this project aims to address the urgent and often overlooked need for psychosocial care in refugee populations. By empowering these young individuals with the tools and support they need to heal and thrive, we contribute to their successful integration into their new communities and improve their long-term well-being.
2. After School Clubs
Our After-school club plays a vital role in the development and well-rounded education of students. The club provides a safe and structured environment where students can pursue their interests beyond the regular academic curriculum. We offer a wide range of activities, such as sports, arts, music, science, debate, and community service, allowing students to explore their passions, enhance their skills, and discover new talents. By participating in these clubs, service users develop discipline, teamwork, leadership, time management, and problem-solving abilities. We also provide opportunities for service users/students to build friendships, boost self-confidence, and develop a sense of belonging.
