Grant details

To apply for Hinkley Point C Funding, your project must be for the benefit of one or more communities in the county of Somerset experiencing residual and intangible impacts, as a result of the construction of Hinkley Point C. It may be designed to remove or reduce impact and improve the social, economic or environmental wellbeing of communities and improve quality of life. The Somerset Social Enterprise Fund (SSEF) is a locally managed social investment fund designed to help voluntary, charity and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in Somerset start new initiatives or grow successful ones to become more financially sustainable. Social investment will be new to many local VCSE organisations, and unlike regular grants programmes, successful applicants receive a lot of advice and support to help them succeed in their venture. Features of the SSEF include: - Blended, unsecured social investment of between £10,000 and £100,000 - Grants will normally be up to 50% of the value of an accompanying loan (e.g. a grant of £20,000 and a loan of £40,000) - On-going support to help you succeed in your venture or project - Fixed interest rates (currently 6%*) - Each loan will be made subject to general and specific terms and conditions. Each loan will be subject to a 1% fee, that may be added to the loan and which contributes to costs incurred in establishing and maintaining the SSEF.

17/02/2023 £17,487 OTTERHAMPTON PRIMARY SCHOOL Describe your project or activity, explain how it will be delivered and what the funding will be spent on The project is for the installation of a circular 1.5m path (self-binding gravel path with tanalised timber edging) around the edge of the school field. During the winter months, the weather makes the field (and Forest School area at the bottom of the field) inaccessible. With student numbers increasing, the area we can offer the children at playtimes is restricted and the field area is out of bounds. We want all students to be able to access the field in order to maintain healthy levels of exercise. A track around the edge of the field would support our ‘Golden Mile’ participation in all seasons and this track could be used at playtimes/lesson times for the children to walk/run around.

27/10/2021 £1,000 BOWMEN OF DANESFIELD The following case study, written by her mother, highlights how Pippa Gee, who is 15 years old and has Down Syndrome, has benefited from being a member; “Pippa began archery with Bowmen of Danesfield in March 2018, when she was 12 years old. We visited the club so that her brother could have a taster session, but on arrival both sisters, who had come to watch, were offered the chance to have a go as well. Pippa enjoyed it immediately. She needed A LOT of support: she didn’t have the strength to hold the bow herself; didn’t have the fine motor skills to load the arrow herself; and she had to be watched at all times because her initial awareness of safety and rules were non-existent. At the end of the session all three children decided they wanted to come back again. When she started, I could never have imagined that eventually she would shoot independently. It seemed totally beyond Pippa’s physical capabilities and I must confess that in all Pippa’s life I have never underestimated her so badly! The more times we went, the repetitive nature of the whistles, the rules, the safety requirements began to infiltrate Pippa’s brain and she became much safer around the shooting line. She still needed (and continues to need) constant supervision, but her progress was amazing. Her strength in her arms increased to the point that she could hold the bow up to shoot entirely unsupported and was able to hold it still to aim. The biggest surprise though was that within a year or so, she was able to load her own arrows. I cannot stress enough what an absolutely astounding thing this is. Pippa struggles so much with fine motor skills and yet she can load her own arrow, click it into place and then aim. Pippa doesn’t use sights and cannot close one eye, but she can consistently hit the target now up to 20m and regularly shoots reds and golds. Her confidence has grown and grown and she loves going each week. During COVID she really missed her archery and asked about it frequently. We are now about to return to archery and she is very much looking forward to it. The is no doubt that it is the patience and perseverance of the coaches at Bowmen of Danesfield that has allowed Pippa to come so far with her archery. They have put in hours and hours with Pippa and I am so very grateful. It has allowed Pippa, not only to participate in a mainstream sport, gaining badges along the way but to enjoy a hobby that gets her outdoors (in the summer!) and engages and improves not only her physical strength and skills but also her mind, thinking, focus and concentration. There is no doubt in my mind that archery has been of huge benefit to her fine motor skills and dexterity and has almost acted like a form of physical therapy in this area”.

24/09/2021 £2,021 PAK BRISTOLIANS CC I believe all of these aims interlink with one another as focusing on one automatically benefits and contributes to the next aim stated above. At Pak Bristolians CC, since we lease our playing field we only have access to our ground from the months of late April (to prepare the ground) - September. But what you will find is that during these months, on a daily basis (weather permitting) we have a lot of our youth players at the ground utilising the nets or bowling machine we invested in a few years ago, as well as helping the committee members and groundsmen prepare the wicket and ground for our youth and weekend matches. This contribution and involvement, wholly voluntary of course, allows the youth to remain off the streets and in an environment that is safe for them to socialise, learn and enjoy their Cricket at of course. They involve themselves with their support (latest example being their help with installing the new screens we have just purchased), and this not only teaches them the discipline and responsibilities of what it takes to run a club, I would like to think that this does help them develop life skills in the form of teamwork and communication and ultimately building strong relationships with one another to benefit the community and the club. At a time like this where Covid has mentally had a massive impact on so many, this outdoor experience almost certainly helps them and that is evident to see in the past few weeks alone since restrictions have eased. And as mentioned above, having a proper Cricket set up at the ground allows us to help the youth remain off the streets and in an environment where they can develop, grow and network with others for future opportunities outside of the club as well in terms of employment and training etc. The above support and involvement is more relevant for our older youth players of course, who we are trying to keep involved in the club and most of which have now broken into our mens teams on the weekend. Of course for the younger youth groups, we again volunteer our time to facilitate training sessions on a regular basis for them, and then travel with them to their games during the season.

23/09/2021 £2,021 BERROW FOOTBALL CLUB We are part of Berrow Junior Football Club. As the adult development team, we provide opportunities for men and boys aged from 16+ to play football. As a whole club the age span we currently have is from aged 4 to 47. During Lock down football was on and off. The nature of this meant that we did not have the secure funds we would normally expect to see and at the same time, there was a massive demand for our club. Many of the men who play for us have been under pressure due to job security and mental health issues during the pandemic. We set up a mental health team in the club and we use the media around the club to spread a positive message and ensure that players are checking in on other players. For some young people coming into under 18's football is hard because most of the youth players who go on in to this group are the more talented players. Some of the young men coming to play for us did not complete the youth football pathway. They are still part of the club and we can continue to support them, the socialisation is so important to them, as it the physical exercise and the need to stay fit or get fit to play. This year is particularly tough financially. The players and their families are also having to look closely at their finances and this had led to more draw on the club resources in terms of the hardship funds. I think the best thing that we achieved last year was the promotion of the two adult teams and the maintaining of the mental health of our players and our players parents. That doesnt sound earth shattering but with no football and no possibility to meet for much of the year it took an incredible amount of effort to set challenges that players could achieve. Some of our players do continue to struggle with mental health issues and although they do not feel able to play at the moment, they are still involved in club life. Our junior teams are providing access to sport for the community. We have continued to provide a start in football for boys and girls from the age of 4. This is achieved by our youth volunteers who run a mini kickers section of the club. This group is good for parents and children as it allows the parents time to talk to one another. We run a cafe so that parents can get tea and coffee and they are all encouraged to stay around and watch training. We provide everyone with the respect training from the FA which is a good grounding in encouraging young people in sport. As a group we fundraise in our community (fetes and bag packing or charity matches) and support local village fetes and events. Our coaches are available to visit schools and support engagement with sport around our Somerset location.
23/09/2021 £2,021 ANGLO BOXING SPORTS COMMUNITY CENTRE We believe having a club like ours has already impacted the community, we are passionate about building a better community through sport for the youth. We are growing everyday and giving our memebers a chance to improve their mental and physical health is key for making anyone in our community feel better about theselves. We have recently started working with a young lady who is fighting and getting into trouble with the police. So we are helping her to find a better way to channel her aggression. It helps with life skills.
23/09/2021 £2,021 £96,314 WIVELISCOMBE COMMUNITY SWIMMING POOL CLUB We offer the opportunity to swim in a small community swimming pool, open to all irrespective of their ability to pay. We run courses within the pool for all ages from older members (like aquarobics) through to mothers and tots swimming sessions. The purpose of all of our sessions are to encourage physical, mental well being through exercise and contact with others. We also offer training for interested people, particularly younger swimmers to train to become qualified lifeguards, a key skill not only for the pool but also for the young people enabling them to gain employment during vacations, term times etc. We have also helped with rehabilititaion post operation/medical events, rebuilding confidence and self esteem for the person concerned. We are keen to provide elements of challenge for our swimmers if they want to try it, so for example we have a group of local school children doing a sponsored open water swim to raise funds for the pool, supporting them with training and support as they embark on this significant challenge. We also, using the 'basic' cafe/shop we have provide an opportunity for social contact for isolated members of the community to enjoy a chat, coffee and cake before or after their swim. We also have a strong group of volunteers, enabling us to work around challenges like the isolation of our chief lifeguards because of being pinged, providing cover to allow the pool to open and run as normal. They are willing to do virtually anything to enable the pool to remain open and accessible to the community, from power-washing the pool side to cleaning and painting as required.
23/09/2021 £2,021 STOKE ST GREGORY TENNIS CLUB We live in a rural community with limited rural transport. Helping young people to interest themselves in tennis will provide exercise , improve mental well being, and an opportunity to meet each other socially, We are hoping that the young people will be provided with a lifelong interest in tennis, and some will be able to play tennis competitively and professionally.
23/09/2021 £2,021 BRIDGWATER AND ALBION RUGBY FOOTBALL CLUB Being based in Sedgemoor, Bridgwater, Somerset we have diverse families, and this include a recognised deprived area. Sport opportunities as we supply via youth rugby takes in any youth from age 5 to age 18 without question and after a try us period ask for an all inclusive nominal annual fee of £40 (which is reduced to £0 when necessary for deserving cases). Developing Life Skills - Self respect through improved fitness, nutrition and attending at regular training. Mutual respect with team members and coaches. Discipline adhering to a set of instructions or team strategy. Building Strong Communities - Our rugby brings together 'teams' of a single age group but from differing schools and local areas. This clearly enhances and demonstrates the building of relationships and teams that breaks down 'school' or 'social' barriers where a possibly life long respect for peers is generated. Improving Mental Health - The regular sport and fitness gives all a lift from any home or school pressures. It is a relief valve for anything pent up, whist teaching behaviour and mental stress coping as necessary in a fun but competitive game. Employable Skills- It has become very apparent that many of our U16 team have been nominated as head boy or senior prefects at their respective schools. This is not by chance, and is largely down to the interpersonal, respectful, reliable and disciplined personalities formulated through many years of Youth Rugby and is directly transferrable as desirable skills for employment. Reducing Crime & Behaviour- Giving youths a purpose, focus, self respect and respect for others has a direct benefit in removing the temptation get involved in antisocial or non sport group bad behaviour, and therefore removing the potential for crime. Additionally the sport challenge gives youth a purpose to look after themselves and train to optimise their sporting ability, this also removes any desire to consider starting any alcohol or drug abuse type behaviour, again removing any related antisocial or criminal behaviours.
23/09/2021 £2,021 F.R.E.E. WESTON We work towards a variety of the bullet points you have mentioned. In regards to developing life skills Free Running and Parkour are primarily individual sports which allows participants to build upon their self confidence, self awareness, physical and mental health/focus as they learn new skills However it can also be enjoyed as a group activity building upon the skills of teamwork, empathy, leadership and supporting one another. We see both great improvements in individuals but also great friendships made within our sessions. In regards to building strong communities we are based in a very underprivileged community but by taking part in local events we aim to show the local community that young people do have valuable skills, especially young males who can sometimes just be regarded as "trouble makers". Our members also build strong communities between one another and this then feeds into their social activities and even their schools. Sport has always been shown to improve mental health but Free Running has been shown to be a massive benefit to an individuals mental health as it is a skill that allows one to express themselves through movement and also in a way that will benefit their body. Surprisingly we have also improved employability skills in the past as some of our trainee coaches have gone on to study coaching at college and then worked for Gyms professionally. A large aspect for us is to reduce crime and anti social behaviour by giving young people something affordable and beneficial to do thats also appealing within a safe environment. We have worked with the.Police and Community Wardens many times to feed young people our way to encourage them to do something with their time away from the streets.
23/09/2021 £2,021 FUTSOUL 360 CIC A programme of 1-2-1 futsal coaching sessions, funded by the Avon & Somerset police, is running at St Barnabas primary school in the St Pauls area of Bristol and it is due to complete in September 2021. Ten children in year groups 3 to 6 who were identified by the school SENDCo in conjunction with the police are taking part. Some of this programme has been challenged by the pandemic lockdowns but the majority of children have continued on the programme throughout. 90% of the children are from a BAME background. It is the first part of our 3-stage strategy to engage young people on a path that we hope will give them better life chances. Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaires (SDQ) completed by the school and the children have been used to capture the data, whilst others involved in the programme have contributed statements to the report. The child and staff assessments have shown an improvement in all SDQ areas (social, emotional and self- esteem), whilst the Coaches Journal records key conversations relating to the children’s social and emotional development which occur frequently within the sessions, as highlighted by the Kate Testo, Lead Learning Mentor at St Barnabas; ‘The children see that they are benefiting in regard to ... the relationship they have with their coach and with the associated advances in their learning confidence and relationships in the wider school setting’ These findings are a positive affirmation of the anticipated outcomes of the futsal sessions and very encouraging for the futsal coach, St Barnabas school, the police, parents and the participating children. The impact measurement indicators in the SDQ have been incredibly positive and in a timescale that has surpassed everyone’s expectations. The quote from Rachel Peregrine, SENDCo at St Barnabas, is of particular significance and encouragement; … it is the highlight of many of their weeks …. parents are also enthusiastic about the intervention … this intervention has the potential to make a difference to some of our most disaffected and disengaged children, having a significant and positive impact on their self-esteem, social and emotional development. We have been supported and encouraged by Det Sergeant Richard OBrien A & S Police VRU who has noted that 'Futsoul have been able to engage on a 1-2-1 and group level with some very hard-to-reach children'. Our intention, subject to securing the necessary funding, is to deliver the first stage of our strategy which is effective futsal focused early intervention programmes by trusted coaches across the 3 areas of Bristol. This will include working with local communities to identify potential futsal coaches as we expand the programme.
23/09/2021 £2,021 BRIDGWATER UNITED COMMUNITY SPORTS TRUST Working in partnership with local Avon & Somerset Constabulary PCSO team and in response to the young people’s request we have set up and are currently delivering the "Onside Programme" that offers the opportunity to participate in a variety of social activities and physical exercise sessions alongside activities to combat anti-social and risky behaviour for 11-18 year olds. We provide engaging activities and workshops to expand opportunities for NEET participants, designed to explore motivations and identify positive alternatives. It currently takes place on sites in the heart of the communities of Sydenham and Hamp, which are easily accessible for our target audience. We have delivered sessions here previously and found the young people feel comfortable and safe attending. We deliver two sessions per week in 2 locations across the SChool Summer Holidays. Our target beneficiaries are at risk of becoming involved in other less-positive activities when there is no other provision so we will deliver session initially during the holidays a time when young people have told us, they have little else to do. Young people told us that there are limited local opportunities for them to get involved in activities that are affordable. The costs they need to consider when deciding to take part is not only the direct cost of the activity but also the kit required and the travel costs. This insight has directly informed this proposition because it will address these issues by providing free activities that are designed exclusively for young people and delivered on their doorstep, in their local area. Both Sydenham & Hamp are within England’s top 20% Most Deprived Neighbourhoods and Anti-Social Behaviour (ASB) consistently been the 2nd highest crime in Bridgwater over the 12 months of April 2020-April 2021. (UK Crime Stats 2021) A 2020 Summary found that the rate of ASB in Bridgwater (36.59) is more than double the Somerset County rate. (Crimerate.co.uk 2021) We work to change this by building strong relationships in and across communities by inspiring young people to develop positive relationships with authorities and their local community and enabling the young people themselves be the agents of change, tackling the societal challenges they face in their lives through positive social action. Feedback we have also received from local residence within the neighbourhoods have been positive in the response to see provisions available to the Young members of their community, where were empty playing fields only occupied by gangs are now enjoyed by laughter, activities and good spirit. We will support young people to reach their potential through the development of key skills that will improve self- esteem and increase aspirations helping them to make good choices and diverting them away from harmful and risky behaviour.
23/09/2021 £2,021 £2,268 SOMERSPIRIT Somerspirit is a very small registered charity and part of Girlguiding. We have a Comet Trio, called 'Somerspirit', based at Sutton Bingham Sailing Club near Yeovil. 'Adventure on your doorstep' is our message to girls and young women in Somerset. We want to make sailing fun, accessible and affordable. In 2019 we had fourteen groups take part in sailing sessions on Somerspirit, with approximately 150 girls and young women getting involved. During a session 2, 3 or 6 hour session they will assist with rigging and launching the boat, and are introduced to the basics of dinghy sailing while on the water. Participants attend through their Brownie (7-10), Guide (10-14), Ranger (14-18) or Inspire (18-30) group, and we frequently have repeat attendance. Where appropriate we're able to sign-post participants to further sailing training opportunities at RYA sailing centres. As well as developing a love of the sport, participants develop a range of skills including communication and teamwork. Taking part in an adventurous activity increases their confidence. In terms of their mental health, we find that the girls and young women value the time away from the pressures of daily life. They get the chance to relax in nature, away from the online world. Every year Girlguiding conducts a flagship Girls Attitude survey of 2000 girls and young women. The report makes it clear how important it is for us to provide opportunities to participate in sport / physical activity - as they get older girls say they have fewer opportunities to participate in sport than boys. (https://www.girlguiding.org.uk/globalassets/docs-and-resources/research-and-campaigns/girls-attitudes-survey-2020.pdf) Sailing has a reputation of having financial entry barriers compared to other sports. Our programme makes sailing affordable. For instance, a we charge Brownie, Guide and Ranger units £35 for a 3-hour session. If it is attended by 12 girls, it works out at less than £3 per person.
23/09/2021 £2,021 £26,193 2ND SOUTH PETHERTON SCOUT GROUP Scouts helps children and young adults on the journey to reaching their full potential. Scouts develop skills including teamwork, time management, leadership, initiative, planning, communication, self-motivation, cultural awareness and commitment. We help young people to get jobs, save lives and even change the world. Scouting exists to actively engage and support young people in their personal development, empowering them to make a positive contribution to society and the community. We hold term time weekly evening meetings to develop life-skills, build personal confidence, engage in teamwork activities, learn about the environment and community as well as taking part in community activities ie village litter picking, tree planting. Other opportunities, some of which are also offered during the school holidays, include outdoor events, for example woodland camps, canoe evenings, climbing, caving etc.
23/09/2021 £2,021 BRISTOL ACADEMY NETBALL CLUB The aim of Bristol Academy Netball Club is to provide opportunity for young females to participant in sport and physical activity regardless of ability. We provide an inclusive training environment which caters for complete beginners to the sport of Netball to those who have the ability to compete at regional level. Not only do we develop the physical aspects of participant's Netball ability, we aim to develop the employability of our young people by supporting them in gaining officiating and coaching qualifications and by mentoring throughout this process. As a result we are developing a sustainable workforce within the club set up as in return for us financially support these qualifications the young people are required to complete a number of voluntary hours coaching the younger participants. Our "Tiny Netters" programme works with players as young as 18months old and introduces them to physical activity through play orientated sessions encouraging life skills and behaviours such as sharing as well as fundamentals like balance and coordination. As a result of the pandemic this age group has lost the opportunity to interactive with children their own age in social groups and these sessions aims to reintroduce that and encourage communication and listening skills as well as introducing teamwork and starting a life long interest in sport and leading an active lifestyle. Through partnering with SGS College, we have a clear pathway for young females to participant in sport from 18month all the way through to senior level participant with our links to an Adult Netball Club and College team, with opportunities to link into the education provision and resources that SGS can offer.
23/09/2021 £2,021 £46,692 IGNITE LIFE Ignite aims to help young people overcome adversity. We run three main services which work holistically to reduce disadvantage while raising aspirations and providing life-changing opportunities. We run a counselling service for young people. Mental-health support is vital and, too often, disadvantaged young people slip through the net. We also run a food delivery service which, since April 2020, has provided over 80,000 meals to families in food poverty. Food poverty can act as a barrier to fulfilling other aspects of life such as employment, mental health and relationships. Finally, we run a bespoke mentoring service for young people when school environments are not meeting their needs. Mentoring provides young people, who are at risk of exclusion, have been excluded or are at-risk of anti-social behaviour, with life changing opportunities which raise aspirations and help to reach potential. Our mentoring provides access to exercise and a fully functioning CrossFit gym, additionally, some of our mentors are qualified personal trainers, boxers and football players who are able to build healthy relationships with vulnerable young people. Mentoring provides all rounded support that helps develop life skills while supporting with mental health challenges and reducing risk factors which, in turn, build stronger and more resilient communities. All of our services work collaboratively towards reaching all of the provided outcomes and Ignite believes that holistic support is vital for young people to thrive. We use sport for the majority of our young people as a way of fostering healthy relationships while encouraging healthy life styles. We are able to provide at-risk and disadvantaged young people with sports and nutrition provisions or work experiences and access to resources that will help them get to where they'd need to be. There is huge amount of inequality among the provisions that young people receive based on their backgrounds, family networks and where they were born; these unavoidable starting points in life should never be a barrier to achieving your full potential. Evidence shows that socioeconomically disadvantaged young people are less likely to engage in physical activity, however, sport can contribute to tackling social exclusion. In addition, disadvantaged young people may never access experiences that could lead to better futures, we want to bridge this gap by providing bespoke mentoring which provides access to a range of sports training opportunities, qualifications and nutrition courses.
23/09/2021 £2,021 128TH ST. OSWALD GUIDES Developing Life Skills - being a part of Girlguiding UK, gives young girls and women the opportunity to gain life skills through learning and having fun. We work with a Programme, which in turn leads to badges being given for completed tasks. The Programme is varied and gives young people the opportunity to try new things and have adventures, including taking part in camps and holidays which can sometimes be the first time a young person has spent time away from home. We watch them grow in confidence and become proud of themselves for achieving tasks - sometimes new to them. This is particularly noticeable when new sporting activities are carried out like canoeing/kayaking, raft building, climbing walls etc., when we are able to take them to activity centres. Many of our young people begin the Guiding experience by becoming Rainbows (aged 5-7 years), moving on to Brownies (7-10 years), Guides are the next section (10-14 years) and finally Rangers (14-18 years), by this time they have developed the confidence to lead (this is part of our programme) and a lot of them remain with us and become Young Leaders and then Leaders, passing on their knowledge and skills that they themselves have learned through Guiding. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a young person who was previously shy and not particularly forthcoming, stand up in front of a group of peers and talk about a subject that means a lot to them. Developing Life Skills doesn't just apply to the young people in our organisation, but adult volunteers are also encouraged to develop their skills, by attending training sessions, but also by joining in activities with the young people - this is where I found my enjoyment of canoeing.
23/09/2021 £2,021 NAILSEA JUNIOR FC At Nailsea Junior fc we are a club at the heart of the community. We are a inclusive club of all abilities for kids aged 5-18 boys and girls. We aim to develop life skills for our kids from early ages up until when they leave us at 18. These life skills are about building friendships, growing up, listening to advice ,dealing with things that don't go to plan, grow as induvial and having responsibility. We aim to build a strong community at Nailsea juniors, we have recently led a fund raising campaign involving the whole community for a defibrillator. This was a proud moment for the club as we had support for the whole community and managed to deliver a defibrillator which is a community access one on our playing field which is used by the whole community. After the last 16/17 months of the pandemic its crucial we help our kids achieve a healthy mind as well as a healthy body. we provide at least 3 hours of sport a week over two days for kids to forget about everything and play sport, it also allows them time to socialize and forget about all the pressures of life. This has never been so important. we take this very seriously as a relatively small town we have over 350 children we play a role in that for.
23/09/2021 £2,021 WESTLANDS WASPS Our sport allows young people to develop key core life skills such as communication, team building and how to win and lose as a group. We teach how to build Social friendships beyond school and within the community regardless of race or gender and to treat everyone as equals and as part of their wider team. Our sport brings together people from different walks of life within the community, breaking down social barriers and allows the children to just be children. When it comes to employable skills, children who have played sport such as football are able to communicate effectively with their peers whilst also being able to give and received feedback which will allow them to develop further into their professional careers.
23/09/2021 £2,021 CREWKERNE BOXING CLUB Boxing encourages a healthy lifestyle and a healthy mind Whether our members are competing in real matches or theyre’re just training in the gym, boxing remains one of the most challenging sports in the world, requiring your full attention and a healthy body. Similar to most other athletes, boxers must stick to a healthy diet, especially before official games, to make sure they will be able to fight in the right category. As little as one or 2kg above or below the category they are competing in will prevent boxers from fighting, so diet is taken seriously. Given that workout sessions demand a lot of effort as well, a boxer’s diet should be based on quality healthy ingredients and clean sources of food that don’t cost a fortune to buy. Most often, they will have to consume a lot of proteins to increase muscle strength but also fish and as many fresh fruits and vegetables as possible. It boosts confidence In the beginning, boxing is all about learning how to properly defend yourself. The best part is that you can apply most of the moves you learn in the ring outside it as self-defense mechanisms. By properly looking after your body and learning how to defend, boxing is an excellent confidence booster for everyone. Each match you win increases your self-esteem and helps you build up confidence that you will later bring in all of your life aspects. It improves your social life Boxing is a great way to make new friends and meet new people constantly. Even if you spend most of your time at the gym, practicing or participating in tournaments, boxing allows you to meet a lot of people from various social backgrounds. Training and sparring with others will also allow you to create special bonds with your opponents, which can lead to strong friendships outside the ring. And, by building confidence and boosting your self-esteem, boxing can also help you tackle all social aspects of your life and be open to new challenges. It works wonders on your cardiovascular system Cardio is good for your health and for your heart. But how boring would it be to just hop on a treadmill and do some running for twenty minutes a day? If you’re a more active person who still wants to look after the health of their precious heart, boxing is a great alternative. Cardio exercises place a moderate amount of stress on the lungs and heart to challenge them physically and improve their ability to adapt to real-life stressful situations. It improves hand-eye coordination Hand-eye coordination is important as it improves your motor skills. People who train their hand-eye coordination will have faster reflexes and their bodies will respond faster to any outside stress factor. In other words, their bodies will be able to adapt to new environments faster and will stay “on guard” no matter the challenges. Studies have shown that better hand-eye coordination is usually associated with fit and active people, who are less prone to future diseases and health conditions. As people age, balance and coordination might become compromised, increasing the risk of injuries and falls.It reduces stress Boxing, just like any other physical activity, has a positive effect on the body if you practice it regularly. Getting inside the ring and starting punching your opponent could prove therapeutic if not cathartic. Many medical studies have revealed the fact that exercising determines the body to release more endorphins, hormones that are usually associated with happiness and a good state of mind. In time, members notice the positive effects of boxing on their body, and that includes sleep improvement and a decrease in stress level. Boxing combines high-intensity bouts of exercise with small periods of rest and recovery, working on all body muscles, as well as the heart and brain. When you are in the ring, you must focus 100% on your opponent and his/her moves, forgetting about everything else that surrounds you or is inside your head. This actually allows the brain to relax and focus on your breathing and moves to avoid being hit. Works on your discipline Boxing is so much more beyond creating the perfect body physique and increasing your punch’s strength. It requires a great deal of focus and determination, patience and discipline. You may have a strong punch but this won’t get you anywhere far in the ring without the proper attitude and being a disciplined player. Our coaches at Crewkerne Boxing Club will build peoples character as much as their body and help them to try to become the best version of themselves inside and outside the ring.
23/09/2021 £2,021 ROMAN BOXING GYM We work to build a strong community by being inclusive and affordable to to all. Boxing improves confidence and encourages positive social interaction. It also teaches discipline and respect. We provide an environment where like minded people can meet and build friendships, having friends and a strong social network is a major factor in having good mental health.
23/09/2021 £2,021 BRUTON UNITED Being able to offer improved facilities and equipment will encourage the community to improve their physical and mental health through exercise. Playing surface improvement will benefit not only club members but also others by making the areas safer to use for exercise as our facilities are housed in a park with open access to the local community. Our club not only provide football but we believe that participation in sport encourages the community to come together in a friendly and cohesive environment. It also fosters an understanding among the younger members that playing team sports requires cooperation between them, their team mates, organisers or coaches thus generating an even stronger communal spirit. Having an outlet for their energies with respected organisers and leaders encourages respect for others in the community and lessens the likelihood of irresponsible and disrespectful behaviour within the area. BUFC encourage senior students from local schools to assist our coaches at training sessions and matches as part the community service element of their Duke of Edinburgh award scheme. Additional funding would allow us to provide them with appropriate equipment. As previously explained this will enable low income families to access fully our range of provision. This grant would allow us to continue this provision. We encourage parents to discuss any needs confidentially with the club Chair and our highly experienced and trained Club Welfare Officer. This ensures that their children are not missing out on being part of the club community. We have a policy of being inclusive for all. Encouraging volunteers to help organise the club highlights to potential employers that they are ready to work towards a common outcome and encourages confidence in their ability to overcome problems.
23/09/2021 £2,021 NORTH PETHERTON RFC Rugby is a great way to teach children from a young age about health and wellbeing, fitness, making friends for life and discipline.

23/09/2021 £900 WINCANTON SWIMMING CLUB Wincanton Swimming Club is a small club that operates in the small town of Wincanton, in South-east Somerset. The club aims to develop the life skills, confidence and mental & physical well-being of its members through its swim training sessions and competitive participation. The club is inclusive in its ethos, providing coaching and an introduction to competitive swimming for Children aged 8-18 (Juniors & Senior Squads) and also Adult members (Masters). Our children’s Junior and Senior squads welcome participation from all abilities and backgrounds. Our small volunteer coaching team aims to provide coaching to develop the skills and confidence of our members, most importantly to encourage our juniors to enjoy sport and experience competitive activity (sometimes for the first time). To support this the club frequently participates in a local friendly gala series (the Jurassic League) alongside other small clubs from the Somerset and Dorset area. In addition to this, the club aims to support some of its members participate in the annual Somerset ASA Development Meet (Level 3 accredited event), often to experience competitive meet swimming for the first time. The club intends to undertake participation in this event this year (in Oct 21, dependent on Covid restrictions). As well as visibly building the confidence of all children who take part in training and competitive events, this sort of opportunity has encouraged some to swim competitively within the wider area. In addition to our younger members, our Masters squad members range in age from 18 to 75+ and represent all aspects of the local community. We are proud that a small but physically determined group of over 70s swimmers continue to attend the club like clockwork as a means of sustaining their fitness and maintaining good social contact. Other adult members include local students, apprentices and other people who work or live within the local area – several in roles that have been affected by the recent pandemic. To support the social and mental wellbeing of all our members we also, like many clubs, invest time and resource in staging social events and celebrations for members through the year. This has include the hosting of Summer BBQ and Christmas Party events, to support the social well-being or club members. It is known that the effect of successive lockdowns has affected some of our members from the Wincanton area, with a resultant effect on the health and mental wellbeing of some members. As a club we have worked to support these member and their families by maintaining club swimming sessions through the School Summer Holidays and through increased communication to parents and members.

Encouraging girls to work towards interest badges at home, and complete skills builder activities and team building activities during our weekly meetings.
23/09/2021 £250 £25,192,000 43RD LONGWELL GREEN GUIDES Sport is a core element of our Girlguiding programme - it helps to build confidence, physical and mental health, team player skills, communication and resilience - all important skills for girls to develop and use effectively as they grow. One of the six core themes is Be Well - the first badge our girls wanted to complete. Prior to lockdown healthy eating smoothies, challenging themselves to try a new sport and mindfulness all form part of this badge. The girls enjoyed it so much we have done it agin. During Covid we have been meeting virtually and by far the most popular event was our virtual yoga and mindfulness session. Feedback from parents is that they saw their girls keep it up and help with anxiety they were experiencing. The girls clearly missed team sport while this was on hold so we created challenge badges that between sessions got them moving and outside as much as possible -scavenger hunts, roller skating, running all formed part of this. Our key challenge has been our numbers - with the virtual setting teenage girls struggled with this setting. When we were able to meet again in person not having the numbers for team sports (e.g. rounders) presented a challenge. As guides though the girls found a solution - creating their own games that saw them moving in innovative ways (hopping, running, using their scooter) to keep fit and still find that competitive edge they desire. Sport is a great equaliser as well. Even the most sporty of the girls have a level playing field with same of the games we play (two sticks and a tea towel as hockey, cat and mouse). This helps increase the confidence of those who aren't normally 'on the winning team' and see those team work and problem solving skills shine. In a non pandemic year (and if the funds are there) activities such as abseiling and kayaking form part of our programme. Many of our girls would not have experienced these sports before - sometimes creating an interest that moves beyond guides or challenges them to do something new (while having fun). They won't know it but this puts them in a strong place for further academic/employment when they are older. This year, when we were able to do activities again our option (funding by parents) was adventure golf. It was great to see the girls learning as they went round the holes, celebrating the below par holes of others and engaging with each other in a social way. The virtual setting cannot replace this.
22/09/2021 £2,021 BURNHAM UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB The junior section of the club focusses on developing life skill a long side their football. Sport is very important as it encourages team work, it helps teach life skills such as communication, as well as the importance of staying fit healthy. Burnham United AFC offers football through all ranges of a person life from junior to veterans football. it gives longer people a sense of belonging and focus, which helps keep them from becoming involved in anti social behaviour, The adult teams in the club play an important part in the mental wellbeing of the people involved in the club, not just the players. During the lockdowns, it has really shown how pivotal a role the club plays for people involved it is their social contact with others, this plays a massive part in their well being and I do not believe people realised this until it was taken away from them.

05/07/2021 £2,021 NOVA SPORTS AND COACHING 'Guy' is a young person with a learning disability that we have worked with in various capacities since April 2018. This September, Guy is due to go to college and because of this, Guy has started working with a Nova Sport coach on a weekly 1:1 basis. Guy's parents were concerned that as a 16 year old, he had very limited life skills and thus a large reliance on others to be out in his community. Therefore, Nova have been working with Guy to significantly increase his independence through the avenue of sport. A typical session with Guy consists of walking to the park, teaching him about road safety and practicing the zebra crossing, deciding where is safe to play football, and then going to the shops to buy a drink and a snack on his own. These are all things that we very much take for granted and not necessarily something that we are 'taught' rather than we learn and pick up. However for Guy, his learning disability necessitates that he is indeed taught how to plan a walking route to get to somewhere, how to know when it is safe to cross a zebra crossing, and how to pay for things in a shop. With this session also brings a key opportunity to be away from his parents and speak about his challenges in life. It gives him a safe space to talk about anything he likes, his concerns about college and employment, and other things. It is very clear and obvious that the football element to the session is the sideshow, and that is is actually the processes around the football that are the important parts. Before the pandemic, Guy was due to complete some work experience with Nova Sports as part of increasing his employability skills. This is something that will be revisited in the summer in between his school and college transition. In the area, there is very little support outside of education for people with learning disabilities. The sessions with Guy are absolutely crucial to rounding his skillset so that he can continue to access his community for years to come.
05/07/2021 £2,021 WELLS CRICKET CLUB Developing Life Skills - We provide a structured and nurturing environment for all or young members to grow as individuals - We give responsibility (with complete guidance!) to younger members to make their own decisions - Captaincy is shared in all teams so that most children experience the responsibilities and increase respect amongst the players - We ask our 16+ members (with DBS) to assist with younger members training sessions so that they build their communication skills - Our juniors are truly embedded in the club and learn a lot from the senior players they meet - A case study would be Henry Hunt who has been part of the club since he was 9yrs old, and now at 20 is a Level 2 coach and spends his Friday evenings and Sundays morning scoring and umpiring at junior fixtures. Building Strong Communities - Wells CC is far more than a cricket club and in many ways is a community hub at South Horrington - During lockdowns we provided safe outdoor space for locals to meet and tried to mitigate the loneliness many were feeling. - Outside of lockdowns the club provides a space for events, community groups to meet and excercise classes to take place - In a normal summer it's very typical to have at the ground a complete cross-section of society all enjoying cricket together - it's truly incredible Improving Mental Health - Sport and exercise has proven to boost mental health and Wells CC is no exception - The networks we create in our local community helps prevent loneliness and feelings of isolation - We now have a qualified MHFA who actively talks with club members on mental health issues and general well being and wellness - We provided online events in lockdown to keep everyone connected - This year a volunteer asked to work on the garden at the grounds and it's visibly clear how much of a difference having this outdoor project has made to their mental health - There are countless case studies of where Wells CC has stepped in and worked at the pace of the individual to improve their outlook and put them in contact with the correct support. Developing Employability Skills - We have a volunteer pathway for our 16+ players to support with the younger players. This can include DofE volunteering or completed Coach Assistant qualifications. Their input and presence in sessions helps them but also the younger ones and creates a web of role-models for every child - We invite a junior to attend committee meetings and advise on their perspective of the club. Although this might seem daunting, as they know all the club individuals most of our juniors love the opportunity to join and be part of something. Reducing Crime & Anti-Social Behaviour - We don't have a major issue to overcome here, but we always install positive ways of interacting with others. We do complete disciplinary hearings and post-event discussions to avoid repeats.
05/07/2021 £2,021 ANGLO BOXING SPORTS COMMUNITY CENTRE We believe having a club like ours has already impacted the community, we are passionate about building a better community through sport for the youth. We are growing everyday and giving our memebers a chance to improve their mental and physical health is key for making anyone in our community feel better about theselves. We have recently started working with a young lady who is fighting and getting into trouble with the police. So we are helping her to find a better way to channel her aggression. It helps with life skills.

We instill the values of honesty, respect and integrity throughout our teaching.
05/07/2021 £2,021 PURPLE ELEPHANT PRODUCTIONS CIC Our main aims as an organisation are to support social inclusion and integration, helping to develop a stronger and more cohesive community. We strive to offer equality of opportunity to disadvantaged and vulnerable children so that they can fulfil their potential. Our holiday activities offer families something positive to do at a time when many families struggle to keep their children engaged and off screens. We partner with Fair Frome to offer families a free lunch, helping to bridge the gap when free school meals are not available and keep them nutritionally healthy. We've been supporting one family for some years and they've really appreciated our sessions over the past year. They are on benefits and eligible for free school meals and struggle to afford activities during the school holidays. The family has 2 girls who both have complex additional needs but love getting active. They often attend with friends (who also have additional needs) which means that they have moral support and can socialise at sessions. We've got to know the family well and can support one daughter while mum engages with the other (one is sometimes in a wheelchair). Being able to come to a safe session where staff are known to them, are supportive and non-judgemental means the world to them. The girls are able to engage in sports as we use activity providers who are familiar with children with additional needs and who can adapt the activity as necessary. This gives the girls the confidence to try new things and the satisfaction that they can achieve. They can develop an awareness of their abilities and develop basic skills such as following instructions and working as a team (sometimes with mum!). The group setting allows the family to meet others who they might not otherwise meet (having a disability can be quite isolating) and they can share ideas and advice. The nurturing setting of the activities certainly helps to reduce their anxiety and has helped them to develop self esteem and blossom as individuals, not being defined by their disabilities. After the lock down and a stay in hospital, our holiday activity last summer was the first time they had ventured out of the house and met with other people.
05/07/2021 £2,021 DOWNEND AMATEUR BOXING CLUB Our young people are encouraged from the outset of attendance to be an active part of running the organisation.

There is a very clear sense that the club belongs to them, and as such a pride and feeling of belonging as been achieved.
05/07/2021 £2,021 JAPAN ARTS CENTRE POLICE SPORT UK JUDO Japan Arts Centre Judo club is a Police Sport UK community Judo Club established in 1987 We provide access to all, a structured sports programme in a positive supportive and inspirational environment to help young people social and life skills . Judo does not only focus on building physical fitness, but it also improves children’s focus, develops positive attitudes about sports in general, and increases self-esteem, self-discipline, self-respect, and courtesy toward others. Children who participate in judo have a reduced risk of childhood obesity, heart disease, and osteoporosis, even as they leave childhood and become adults. It also sets the foundation for them to become healthy and active adults who appreciate the importance of physical activity. Judo focuses on building self-respect, respect towards others, including opponents, In turn, this nurtures players trust, confidence, and judgment so they can grow as balanced and emotionally healthy young adults. We provide resources that support education around the risk factors associated with involvement in, or becoming a victim of, crime and anti -social behaviour; Judo is about giving children an outlet for their boundless energy while also discouraging violent behaviour, like many martial arts. Students of judo have compared discipline in judo to discipline in the military because it teaches you to respect those around you, pay attention to detail, and learn how to present yourself. Kyle Powers, a judo master at Draft Beyond and Research Papers UK, explains to his readers that “it’s rare for children who practice judo to get involved in bullying or schoolyard fights. Because it’s a sport that builds discipline and respect of others, students known that engaging in aggressive behaviour is not the proper solution and their judo techniques are for their classes.” Our Aims include: To promote responsible citizenship values; To reduce vulnerability to involvement in, or becoming a victim of, crime and anti-social behaviour; To increase confidence to help children & young people to achieve their full potential. To increase sporting and other healthy activity participation levels; We support all children and young people with a particular focus on hard to reach and vulnerable groups; Approx. 25% of both the Junior membership live in areas within the most deprived areas of Bristol rated 1-3 on the scale and a further 26% in areas rated 3-5 The Junior has a 29% BAME demographic We have a high number of girls with 36% in the Junior class

05/07/2021 £2,021 YEOVIL UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB The football club is well known for it's development and promotion of youth players through our talent pathway. This positive youth development has been described as lifespan development because adolescents are being taught skills, values and virtues that help them during adolescence, which will also help them thrive throughout life. We also believe that we The World Health Organisation defined life skills as ‘the abilities for adaptive and positive behaviour that enable individuals to deal effectively with the demands and challenges of everyday life’. Football supports the development of social skills, discipline, respect, personal control, leadership and organisation. These skills are fully listed below. Our coaching delivery covers each of these aspects across the season in either a direct coaching and learning programme. It is broken down into three main parts; messaging, re-inforcement and reflection.

05/07/2021 £2,021 POLONIA&FRIENDS We would like to focus on people abilities and hobbies that would make them happy and required. FOr those with language barrier, we encourage mixing with hobby association so by enjoyment they can exchange their expertise but also learn the language in more efficient way. This will apply to various age groups including youths that we would like to link with scouts or sport activity groups.
05/07/2021 £2,021 £230,003 STOGURSEY AND DISTRICT VICTORY HALL COMMITTEE The Stogursey and District Victory Hall Committee own and maintain the Victory Hall, the Youth Club Building, the village playing field and a multi-use games area (MUGA). They are all on the same site. The Victory Hall is Stogursey's village hall. This provides facilities which are mainly used by adults. Many of the activities are used by elderly people who find that activities including line dancing, keep fit and Thai Chi classes and the short mat bowls club which for many are their main social activities. We provide the Youth Club building and funds to operate the club. The Youth Club sessions are run by YOUTH Unlimited CIC. They have free access to the Sports Field and MUGA. We operate a separate bank account for the Youth Club. The Youth Club used to be provided by Somerset County Council but when they abandoned their commitment to Youth Clubs the Committee stepped into the breach and have raised the funds to keep the club going. Stogursey is a rural community nine miles from the nearest town. There is no evening or weekend bus service and the youth club provides their only opportunity to get together and develop their social skills outside of the educational environment. The Club Leaders are people who are trained to provide counsel and guidance to young people, many of whom would struggle to obtain sound advice from other sources. Stogursey Youth Club is an integral part of our community. It provides the opportunity for the young to have a voice in the community and it contributes towards developing life skills, building a stronger community, developing employability skills, and reducing crime and anti-social behaviour. By contributing in all these areas it inevitably contributes to improved mental health for those who are at a very vulnerable stage of their life. The Youth Workers use sport and active games to build meaningful relationships among peer groups, creating an understanding of fairness, trust and support. Relationships with adults (staff) and the wider community improve community relations and reduce public concerns that young people have nothing to do. Sports & activities promote emotional health and wellbeing, enabling young people to build and develop skills, feel a sense of belonging and support by being part of a group. Being physically active promotes a sense of wellness and encourages reflection on improving lifestyle choices in order to be more healthy. We adopt informal games and activities in order to promote inclusivity & wellbeing so our focus is more on engagement and fun rather than competition and sporting achievement.
05/07/2021 £2,021 SOUTH GLOUCESTERSHIRE HOCKEY CLUB The Youth section of South Gloucestershire Hockey Club (SGHC) started in September 2019. We take part in the new England Hockey ‘Hockey Heroes’ scheme (5-8yrs) and have created a separate Junior group (8+yrs). From 2019-2021 nearly 70 children have attended the SGHC Hockey Heroes (5-8 yrs) and junior sessions (8-12 yrs), predominantly from our local area. Developing Life Skills The primary focus of the SGHC youth section is to give children who have never played hockey (or even any team sport) the opportunity to have a go, and by doing so develop transferable life skills. Our coaches place emphasis on life skills such as teamwork, communication, perseverance and respect. They encourage exercise and a healthy lifestyle as well as boosting confidence through positive reinforcement. We want the children to have lots of fun and experience success as well as overcoming setbacks experienced when learning new skills. Building Strong Communities We recruited children from the local area (Bradley Stoke in South Gloucestershire) and engaged with a number of local schools. Consequently, the children attending are from a number of different schools and backgrounds, representing and serving the local community and allowing children who wouldn’t normally play and work together to connect. Improving Mental Health We run our sessions to create positive mental health outcomes. Run in the right way sports sessions are an invaluable contribution to good mental health. We have seen new friendships develop between children through the positive social interactions that our sessions encourage and in setting achievable goals and activities, the skills, confidence, resilience and team spirit of the children has increased. In a small close-knit club like SGHC there are clear safeguarding and support networks and process to manage any potential issues. The Youth Manager is also a trained Mental Health First Aider (MHFA).
05/07/2021 £2,021 MINERVA BATH ROWING CLUB Minerva Bath Rowing Club is a BR affiliated club located on the river Avon on the western outskirts of Bath, where it enjoys a 5km stretch of river between Twerton and Saltford Locks. The club is committed to widening the appeal of rowing to a diverse cross section of the local community and to expanding membership, notably within the junior squad. The club has an existing relationship with two state schools - Beechen Cliff boys school and Hayesfield girls school which share a mixed sixth form. The catchment area for both includes the most socially deprived area of Bath. We have active members aged 12 to 81. We have a junior section with a current membership of 25 and a waiting list of 35. The Club has a culture of volunteering. The Club started weekday Learn to Row courses aimed at older women 6 years ago. The group has been a refuge for those with caring responsibilities and carers and this section of the club makes a massive contribution to the running of the club. 6 of the regular weekday members also volunteer with the junior squad bringing their work experience to cover safeguarding, coaching, mentoring. Bath University Boat Club also row from our site and we have students who are teaching members to scull and 5 DBS covered students who will be coaching junior sessions. Young people taking part in the Mentoring Plus have opportunities to take part in group activities often with their Mentor. Rowing at Minerva is one of these activities. The experience gives them confidence and fun at a facility on their doorstep. Rowing is perceived to be inaccessible, but this project has broken down barriers. It is important that the long association continues. LF is a great example of this. He first came when he was 12 and he attended another 2 summers before joining the Club 2 years ago. He helps on the Learn to Row courses and is a fantastic role model for both the young people from Mentoring Plus and our other junior members. It is really encouraging for the young people to have someone they know show them how ‘it’s’ done. Lewis has entered several races in a single scull. He is a great ambassador for the junior squad in the club as he helps on club working days fixing boats and maintaining the boat shed and site. LF has recently started a full-time job and I am sure that his involvement at the rowing club has helped his employability.
05/07/2021 £2,021 £20,703 THE GROVE AT BEDMINSTER DOWN Case study from Youth worker: LP age 11- ‘LP is really good at most sports especially football, however he just needed to control his behaviour and understand how to be the best he could be. We got to understand him a little better and the reason he was doing certain things. He was a middle son with two other brothers and didn’t really get attention from his parents. We started to work with him on a more 121 basis so we would be playing a game and then take him out of the game to show him something to do and he’d do it. We bonded and created a strong connection. He smiles and loves seeing me now and I still try and work with him at different sports. I love his passion for games- it’s like every time we play a game it’s the biggest game of his life and it’s inspirational. Since his engagement at the club his family have reported an improvement in his behaviour, communication skills and self control’
05/07/2021 £2,021 2BU SOMERSET CIC Our central aim is to help build resilience and confidence and bring each young LGBTQ+ person to a place of healthy self-acceptance. We provide a safe environment for LGBTQ+ young people to come together and gain support from both staff and peers. We offer regular support groups which provide a varied holistic and tailored programme to meet the needs of the LGBTQ+ young people. Our activities take place throughout the county of Somerset, offering outreach support when young people are unable to access the central support group. This can be for a wide variety of reasons such as transport, not able to 'come out' to parents/carers (by coming out we mean telling another person about sexual orientation or gender identity) and anxieties in relation to meeting people in groups etc. LGBTQ+ young people face may face many barriers to accessing service, health, education or social groups and it is widely reported that LGBTQ+ people face discrimination or stigma in relation to accessing sport; including experiences of homophobia, biphobia and transphobia in sports environments, body image, self-confidence, experiences of dysphoria in single sex spaces, stigma and isolation. We work with young people to identify and address these barriers. Supporting LGBTQ+ young people to both engage in sport and access sporting venues without fear of discrimination has many benefits for physical and mental heath, creates a sense of belonging and provides a safe environment to simply play. Through supporting LGBTQ+ young people to establish safe engagement in and positive experiences of sport, we hope to promote young people's active participation which has the potential to deliver long term benefit.
05/07/2021 £2,021 £114,442 IN THE MIX YOUTH PROJECT Our life skills programme, RoadCode, teaches participants about road and personal safety and encourages safe behaviour in and around cars. It supports topics of road safety and reducing road traffic accidents and other police related matters such as car meets etc. Through this programme young people have the opportunity to develop and undertake a social action project for their community, most recently local young people created a video series project highlighting issues specifically targeted at younger drivers like speeding in our communities and using phones behind the wheel. C, who was involved in the social action programme and helped to develop the idea, felt it was really important to address speeding, particularly in rural and small communities and near schools and highlighted that "everyone needs to learn about road safety". Getting young people involved in their local communities helps to strengthen community relationships and develop better shared activity between adults and young people.
05/07/2021 £2,021 £22,908 LANGPORT AND HUISH EPISCOPI YOUTH GROUP One of our main aims as a youth group, supporting that transition from childhood to adulthood. We recently delivered two kick boxing sessions; this has gone down really well with the girls. After we all sat in a circle outside and talked about how it went and what came out of it was a need to feel they could protect themselves and feel powerful against the ‘boys’, further probing revealed they had heard rumours about bad men at the rec and so wanted to feel safer and kick boxing made them feel more in control and strong. We feel by being able to offer more sports activities, including kick boxing, it will help empower and expand their confidence giving them valuable life skills.
05/07/2021 £2,021 SPARKFORD CRICKET CLUB Sparkford Cricket Club has been identified as part of South Somerset District Council’s (SSDC) ‘Playing Pitch Strategy’, confirming the Club’s value to the community and its need for improved facilities. Developing Life Skills With little or no cricket being played in schools, we are giving the opportunity to boys and girls to play cricket. They would not otherwise have the opportunity to play cricket. We have a thriving junior section with up to 80 boys and girls from ages 6 through to 16, with u10s, u12s, u14s and u16s teams competing in the Mid-Wessex League, as well as two senior teams, with some juniors already coming through and playing senior cricket. We believe our youth section are gaining valuable life skills on the cricket pitch, learning how to work together in teams, how to win with grace and lose with dignity and your head held high. Building strong communities The Sparkford Cricket Club ground is located in the centre of the village alongside a busy road junction. As it is very prominent, everybody knows our ground. As a consequence, the facility benefits the entire community. Membership of the Club is open to all. Spectators are most welcome. It is a fine sight seeing cricket being played on our ground - something which happens 6 days a week, every week, between April and September. Our members come from not just the immediate village of Sparkford but also from other communities in the locality. Improving Mental Health With so many people suffering from mental health in society today, we believe getting children and adults out of the house, away from screens and phones, is fundamental towards improving mental health. Exercise and team sports is proven to have very positive outcomes in terms of conquering mental health issues. Developing Employability Skills Cricket requires discipline, being a team player, working towards a greater goal, learning how to deal with difficult situations and how to be gracious in defeat. We believe all these traits/skills contribute to our members becoming more employable. It also helps with generating a healthy mind, which is a huge asset in any work environment. Reducing Crime and Anti-social behaviour A child in sport is a child out of court. We firmly believe if children (and adults) are spending their time on the cricket pitch, focusing on how to improve their fitness and ability in the game, and socialising with friends from the club before and after practice and matches, then this reduces their chances of getting involved in any criminal or anti-social behaviour activities. The more children we can get into sport, the better our society will become!
05/07/2021 £2,021 HUISH & LANGPORT CRICKET CLUB The Club is trying to increase it's youth membership and the following statement has been sent out to local schools and advertisers to hopefully get more youngsters involved in the great game. We believe developing skills or improving them further with coaching and games, this will build stronger minded bodies and by offering the youngers somewhere to go in a safe environment and doing so keep fit and well in enjoying the chance to perform for which can only be good approach for wider social outcomes. “COME ALONG TO SUPPORT / JOIN OUR MOST ACTIVE CLUB” CRICKET HAS NO BOUNDARIES Cricket is a game for all, offering access and opportunity to people of any age, gender, race, physical ability, social or ethnic background. Cricket has no boundaries. We think that’s worth protecting so come along and support are club. We at Huish & Langport Cricket Club following the immense COVID-19 period we have all being in are very much looking forward to another season commencing in May although still under imposed restrictions we will be playing the great summer game. We do hope once again to getting youths from the age of 8 years and upward to join the club and enjoy coaching training sessions and to play a few actual matches. The clubs aim and objective would be to have actual teams playing in a local organized league in 2022 but to achieve this we are always dependent on those willing to play this great game. We have qualified coaches who offer their vast skills to coach the youth and seniors in an interest to both enhance and improve skills they have. Actual coaching days will be confirmed as and when we have numbers joining. Many youth players from the most recent years are playing in the clubs’ senior league teams so why not try to reach these goals in the future. So should you know any budding individuals who would like a go and join our most active club or if you know anyone for the older aged groups please come and join our club. We would also encourage youth parents to come along and get involved in volunteer roles.

05/07/2021 £1,800 ASHCOTT FOOTBALL CLUB Ashcott FC provides boys and girls with a clear progression into adult football, from mini-kickers right up through the age groups from U7s to U16s, and we hope to enter an U18s team next season. There is a real community feel to the club, many adult players qualify to coach youth teams and we support older youth to undertake referee training - they in turn referee for our younger teams. In recent times especially we have had seen young people worrying about coming out of lockdown and being able to join friends playing football and re introducing them to social situations has been very welcomed by parents.
05/07/2021 £1,515 SGS COLLEGE TABLE TENNIS CLUB The aim of our organisation is to encourage the community to learn and develop a new sport and for them to reach their full potential. Table Tennis is widely known to be an equal level opportunities sport, anyone can play regards of their level and the opportunities to progress are large. The sport if fun, engaging and has a very good social aspect to the game, it can bring people from all ages together and as a result it can build and become a strong community. Playing sport and getting active is exceptionally important to mental health and the more we can engage with the community the more they come together to help long term. Table Tennis keeps you mind active and the hand eye co-ordination skills and physical exercise that are also important with todays living lifestyle. The coaching courses and camps that we offer, help youngsters with the life skills, they learn how to listen, socially engage, make friends, have better communication skills and develop as individuals. we encourage volunteering and also help with those that take part in the Duke of Edinburgh award scheme with the skill or physical side of the sport. Individuals that take part in sport are generally less likely to be involved in crime and anti social behaviour they have somewhere to go each week and engage with something they like doing in a controlled environment but also somewhere that they can express and develop themselves. Our club has a partnership with SGS College and therefore, it also encourages children and adults to potentially engage with the other activities it offers plus the chance to develop their education if needed or get the extra skills and help that they might need to reach a particular goal or re-skill. We have a access to a large resources and contacts to help people in the community.
05/07/2021 £1,500 HUISH TIGERS FOOTBALL CLUB The key outcome which our club aligns to is that of forging STRONG COMMUNITIES, although many of the others ring true. The club's vision is 'To create a sustainable football club for children of all ages and abilities, embedded in the community valuing people over players' with our mission being 'To provide a football club that allows children to feel valued, included and respected whilst exploring and developing their potential in an enjoyable and safe environment.' We have previously won the Somerset FA Club of the Year for the work we have done building our club. We recruit volunteers on their ability to be kind to children, rather than any of the footballing prowess. We are based within the centre of Taunton and have nearly 100 members. Parents come to us because of how we value children and respect one another. This core value of respect and lifelong love of being physically active we believe is a really key part to building strong communities. Our Ability team which is a pan-disability team for children is a core part of our club. Speaking to the families of the children, they struggle to find inclusive and welcoming environments. We can provide that which we feel gives respite to the parents and siblings of these children.

Our three youth teams (under 10s, 12s and 14s) come from disadvantaged backgrounds and we allow them to express themselves in a fun and active sporting environment. Also some of our older skittles and pretty lonely and vulnerable, so the sports team, so the sports club being there helps them get out and socialise.

19/01/2021 £2,500 £52,690 RADIO NINESPRINGS Radio Ninesprings is a not-for-profit charitable organisation providing a service of local community radio to Yeovil and South Somerset. The charitable purpose of Radio Ninesprings is to advance the education and training of people in radio production, broadcasting and media skills techniques. Since the start of the pandemic income from advertising has decline to a point where currently it is 40 per cent below budget. Income from training and events has collapsed. The bulk of our advertisers on are in the food/leisure sector that has been badly hit by COVID. These businesses are unlikely to re-book advertising in the short-term, if at all, and we fear our income will stay depressed for some considerable time. In January this year, Radio Ninesprings was given permission by Ofcom to extend its licensed broadcast area to include Chard with a new FM transmitter in the Chard area. The funds for this new transmitter should have been raised by now but due to COVID and the downturn in our income, the funds have not been raised and the project is at risk. A ‘Small Business Grant’ of £10,000 from South Somerset District Council was received June 2020.
