Scheme Name & Location Deeplish Multi-Activity Club Deeplish Community Centre 57 Hare St, Rochdale OL11 1JT

Scheme Description (include as much information as possible)

The aim of this project is to provide regular weekly sports, fitness and physical activity sessions to children 8-12 years old for up to 25 weeks. The sessions will be targeting both boys and girls from the local and surrounding areas of Deeplish. Working in partnership with Deeplish Community Centre the Multi-Activity Club will be designed to target young people who do not traditionally engage within sport and physical activity. At Link4Life we deliver a School Sport and PE Programme which is predominantly curriculum based. Although the Programme is successful within Schools, the young people who attend out of school provision are primarily involved in clubs and take part in regular physical activity. Through offering a wider programme in community centres and ensuring choice and variety, we aim to engage more young people in physical activity in turn increasing the levels of physical activity among young people within our Borough. The physical activity guidelines for children and young people aged 5-18 years are at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity every day, incorporating muscle strengthening activities on at least 3 days a week. Around two in ten children aged 5-15 years meet the recommendations. Therefore we have 80% of young people who do not; the multi- activity club will aim to target those young people who do not traditionally engage within physical activity. We will offer a weekly (term time only) Programme of Sports, Physical Activity and Arts and crafts, to ensure we attract the correct audience we will promote as a multi-activity club. The multi-activity club will contribute to improving the statistics and ensure focus on physical wellbeing. The coaching staff who will deliver the project will be from the Casual Community Coaching Team within Link4Life and volunteers from Deeplish Community Centre will assist with managing and delivering the sessions as well as engaging with the local community to communicate information about the club. Partners involved in the programme include (but not limited) Schools, Community Centres, Youth Services, INT Health and Wellbeing Team, Children’s Emotional Health and Wellbeing Coordinator, Healthy Lifestyle Team etc.

To ensure we engage participants we will promote the programme utilising the Link4Life social media platforms, fliers, posters, e-newsletters and through existing groups and forums at Deeplish Community Centre. The multi-activity club will run in the evening each week for 1 ½ hrs. The session will not conflict with any other programmes or sessions and will tie in with Mosque where children can visit the multi-activity club once they have been. Following on from a successful summer playscheme at Deeplish Community centre, which Link4Life supported, there is a need for more junior activities in the evening. Over 50 young people attended activities over the summer and many parents and children expressed an interest in continuing sessions throughout the term.

Desired Outcome (what is required by the scheme)

Contribute to reducing the number of children at Year 6 outlined as Overweight or Obese. Improved emotional health & wellbeing of participants Increase children’s self-esteem, communication skills and collaborative approach to sport and physical activity To provide a continued pathway of sport and physical activity outside of traditional clubs Bring together young people from different backgrounds To keep children engaged in positive activities in the evenings.
