The Proud Trusts supports isolated and vulnerable Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Trans (LGBT) young people to live happier and productive lives This project aims to engage LGBT young people aged 14-25 in sport and physical activities that will culminate in a day sports event in Ellesmere Port for 80 young people who are otherwise inactive and face health inequalities. It will be an amazing day where they can make friends, try out sports that are new, and be in a safe space. Sport for many trans people is often highly gendered and not very accessible, so a project like this makes a big difference to those who can't do sport elsewhere. The funding will be used to hire facilities from Action Transport Theatre at Whitby Hall (we have an office based in the Hall and it is an ideal location for the Games). Funding will also be used to pay for sport coaching staff to deliver the activities; pay for hydration and nutrition at the event for the participants of which many have limited incomes; pay for participation medals as a form of motivation for future involvement; cover insurance and contribute to youth worker support, publicity and promotion.
