Summary
As a Sports Council we would like to support young people in the Irvine Area participate in Sport and Physical Activitiy and increase the number of people who participate in sport. We are a group of 14-17 year old young people who have had some great experiences and opportunties in Sport of our own and we want to help others have this too. We have personally seen that sport can help with our physical, mental, social and emotional wellbeing and we strongly believe that all young people should have the access to physical activity to help improve their own wellbeing. One of the barriers for young people to take part in sport is the access to sports kit and the access to free sport sessions. As a Sports Council we already offer free sessions (in a variety of different activities) but the young children who we see often don't have a tshirt / shorts etc often miss out or are embarrassed that they don't have sports clothing and therefore don't come to clubs. By having sports kit to give out, this will hopefully remove that financial barrier and make sport more accessible for all and allow us to create a sports community with strong representation and identity. The target group for this support would be 12 & 13 year olds in the Irvine area.
Description
We would like to provide sports clothing to the young people in the Irvine area to allow them to have access to free sporting sessions. As a Sports Council we provide a range of the activities (most are not at capacity) but we currently cannot provide the sports kit to allow some young people the ability to access. We feel under capacity is likely to be due to them not having kit.
Cheap dri-fit sports tshirts = approx £6 -7 per item.
Cheap dri-fit sports shorts =approx £7 per item
We would look to help up to 100-120 pupils and would look to variety of sellers to try and get best deal. From our inital research we can buy this for reasonable price and we would go for best, and cheapest, to get us the most amount of items.
This will then allow them to access the 12-15 sports clubs that we run.
Location: We are a Sports Council with an estalished committee group of 14-17 year old young people. We all live in Irvine and are all current pupils who attend Irvine Royal Academy. We all attended Castlepark PS, Woodlands PS, Loudoun Montgomery PS and Annick PS. We meet every month to try and identify things that as a Sports Council we can improve in school, local primary schools and local area in relation to Sport and Physical Activity. We arrange sports clubs in our school at lunch time and afterschool. Over the next few months we have already planned to start our sports clubs in our 4x cluster primaries. We have lots of suggestions / initiatives that we can do but this particular one would require the financial support. As we are a Sports Council of young people we do not receive any funding / budgets for projects. This is why we are keen to apply for Young Scot PB Funding to support our project.
