We use sport to bring people together ,develop life skills ,Reduce Crime and Anti -social behaviour and build stronger communities. We have used sport as bridge to promote community cohesion ,get young people trained up ,participate, learn ,created volunteer opportunities. for young people. The best example which we can share in which we can demonstrate how we use sport to achieve certain outcomes such as Developing life Skills , Build Stronger Communities. Case Study- Liz and Terry Bramell Project Client A is 19 yrs. old male who lives in the Highfield area. He is from a low-income family and left school with no qualifications. Initially he came to see what the sessions were about, at the start he seemed not interested. As the weeks went by, we started having conversations with this young person and we got to know him and by talking and LISTENING, we realised what issues were affecting this young person. By working closely with him, over the duration of the project, he opened and talked about what he wanted to do and was passionate about cycling to getting more fitter and a good way to meet people. At the end of the project, he became a volunteer at Inspire Highfield. As a result of participating in this project, he has been the lead in getting Inspire Highfield Registered as a community cycling club with Cycling Uk. This case study shows how we used sport to inspire change ,inspire participation and encouraged learning new skills. Sport is a way to change peoples way of thinking ,Build a stronger communities and we have done that through our past work. We find sport is the most accessible vehicle for change when it comes to working with young people. We provide the equipment and the guidance and we let young people develop the project ,i.e. planning sessions ,setting up meetings ,liaising with organisations and working with other organisations to maximise their involvement in the project. We are keen to encourage our young participants to develop life skills through sport , this could be learning about how to work as part of a team ,leadership skills ,time management ,and working on their own initiative.
