Active Fusion

By holding a child-led activity session for children/young people aged between 5 and 18 years old.  We would offer activities such as table tennis, bowling, curling, rounders, disco, indoor tennis, exercise circuits to name a few examples.

Girls in Sport

We propose to introduce the Olympic Sport of Fencing to the girls aged between 12 & 15 years old. This will be a 5 week fencing course. We will be delivering 5 sessions one per week and cater for 20 young people per session.

Hoops in the Holidays

Our idea is to develop a holiday club called Hoops in the Holidays, which would see holiday sessions, spread across the school year.  We would aim to hold a 1 day session per school holiday, which would be open to children who are attending senior school or college up to the age of 18.  

Carnival Moves!

Global Grooves will work with 30 young people from Hyde and neighbouring areas to encourage them to take part in weekly workshops, exploring dance and high-energy drumming activities with a Carnival twist.

Futsal For All

Our girls' futsal programme targets physically inactive girls aged 6-12 and is specifically designed to engage them in a fun, inclusive, and supportive environment. Our 10 week programme aims to foster a sustained interest in physical activity, which will lead to a healthier and more active lifestyle.

Child and Youth Club

The Club's main aims are to encourage children to communicate and build relationships through activities that are technology free. This encourages them to be more active and engage face to face rather than through social media or gaming devices.

A Walk in the Park

We propose to run a series of gentle dog walks in Hyde park with young people from our Alternative Provision. Additionally, we will incorporate elements of forest therapy, a nature-based intervention that promotes positive mental health and enhances physical and social health by working on nature connectedness, interpersonal relationships and social cohesion.

Tameside Youth Archery Project

We aim to introduce any young person to Archery from the ages of 8-18 years at our indoor range in Hyde and outdoor facility in Dukinfield, this will be done by creating a pathway from introduction to regularly attending weekly junior club nights as a full club member.

Propel

We would now like to introduce a new and regular half termly adventure session we’d call ‘Propel'. We’d like to trial together a range of active and more adventurous activities that our local teens could go on to access themselves in the immediate and Tameside locality. The sessions would be ‘tasters’ (1 or 2 quality sessions per activity) that we trialled together on a Friday evening/Sunday afternoon time slot.

Barney's Youth Club

St Barnabas church is looking to start a weekly open access/ drop in youth club for young people in Hattersley.

The "Get Moving" Project

To get our clients "moving" more frequently and in a more physical sense, we are looking to develop new sporting activities within our programme of events involving younger people from the community as well as those with SEN/ disabilities who are often under-represented in local traditional sporting offers.

Encouraging Movement via Games

Following Consultation with some of the young people, they highlighted that they would like to do more physical activities such as table tennis, multi games, computer fitness workouts etc. We always aim to be as inclusive as possible and we hope that by providing these new activities we may encourage our members to move more, more often and to engage new young people to attend our group.

Skiing for visually impaired children

Our ski project is designed to get visually impaired children and young people from Tameside active by offering them an opportunity to participate in an exciting, physically engaging sport that’s fully adapted to their needs. By providing customised skiing lessons with experienced instructors, our project will enable them to engage in high-energy physical exercise, improving strength, balance, and coordination. The skiing sessions are specifically tailored for visually impaired children, making them a welcoming and supportive space.

Dukinfield Youth JFC Football Engagement

We are designing a free football engagement project for children aged 5-8 which will include a mix of fun, skill-building, and teamwork activities tailored to their developmental stage, providing a pathway in to our club teams. Whilst ensuring to facilitate inclusive, yet differentiated sessions, we do have a particular focus on girls as we are looking to recruit and further develop our younger age groups.  

Extending Our Reach

We now have an opportunity to run mixed Sports Sessions at Oxford Park Sports Centre in the Sports Hall.  This session will reach out to children and young people from different ethnic backgrounds and across the 2 localities. We are offering 2 new activities – badminton and basketball, alongside football and cricket. This will be a mixed sex session, our other sports sessions are for boys or girls. Initially children and young people from Holy Trinity will walk across with youth workers.  As this session gets established they will make their own way across. We will work with Active Tameside to promote the session to the community around Oxford Park. 

SEND Sports Sessions

Youth in motion: Inspiring active change

Droylsden Cricket Club Girls/Ladies Cricket Development

The intention is to visit all the local primary and secondary schools in Droylsden and offer free cricket taster sessions.  The club would provide the equipment that the schools cannot now necessarily afford to provide for the taster session and this would hopefully encourage the young people to then visit Droylsden Cricket Club to gain a further in-depth experience of cricket.   

All Star's & Dynamo's Cricket for youngsters

Our idea is to take the local children across Tameside & Ashton-Under-Lyne and bring them to Ashton CC and run sessions coached by a Level 3 Coach, boys & girls are welcome to the sessions. In Ashton-Under-Lyne we are in one of the countries most multicultural & deprived areas in the UK, everybody is welcome to our club, and it is vital for these children that they have opportunities to get involved in community groups/sport and this is our clubs vision to offer those opportunities to boys & girls in the local area.

Girls SEND football

A football session for girls with special education needs that would be held a the sports hall. Using an indoor sports hall would enable us to create a more accessible session, and the use of player passports to individualise training plans for each girls needs.

Polperro Pop Up Playtime 

Following consultation with our neighbours and their children we would like to run some sports day and garden games sessions on the green space in front of the community garden.  We aim to provide active play for all through sand and mud pits as well as more competitive games for those able to take part.  There are children in our area that are on the autism and ADHD spectrum. Therefore, the activities will aim to burn off their energy, improve their focus, concentration and collaboration while boosting their confidence and showing them what they can achieve. 

Girls can jump too

Next-Generation of Girls Cricketers

We want to further develop this opportunity for girls cricket by driving up numbers of girls attending our Friday night training sessions and offer them lots of methods of enjoying cricket and staying within the sport. For example, we want to maximise soft ball opportunities for girls across all junior age groups, provide a clear pathway for them into women’s cricket and also offer girls only hardball cricket for those that are keen to develop.

Tots 2 Teens Therapy at Cromwell

This grant is to be used to get our students with the most Profound and Multiple Learning Difficulties to become more active. This is achieved by offering holidays clubs ran by Professional Physiotherapists, and Physiotherapy assistants (tots2teens) in Cromwell's hydrotherapy pool doing physio movements. This offer is also open so that parents/carers can join in and learn how to best support their children in these safe movements and exercise in water, hence making our students healthier and more active. These sessions will also help the mental health and wellbeing of the young people as water gives many the opportunity for some independence and the ability of some to walk in the hydro pool. The holiday rebound sessions will give our students opportunity to be more active and exercise safely under the guidance of qualified professionals to help our young people keep fit and healthy by rebound movements on the trampoline to help build strength in their upper cores.
