Young Person Fitness Project

Young Person Fitness Project

Funded by Northamptonshire Sport.

The projects main aim is to improve the wellbeing, mental health, self-confidence, self-esteem of African BAME young people across the county of Nortamptonshire. In addition to develop life skills by highlighting the importance of nutrition, exercise and learning to swim. As many young people in the African communities, have been isolated from their parents (front line workers) during the pandemic, this has affected the family physical activities and healthy cooking that they used to engage in as a family unit.

So we want to get these young people to understand the importance of nutrition, how to make positive responsible decisions about their diet and the impact on unhealthy eating habits from experts from across the African community.
