<p>To support the children's mental health and well-being we are looking to purchase outdoor equipment to encourage outdoor play. This will have a positive impact physically and mentally for the children and will allow a more fun approach to learning.</p> <p>We would also like to put £150 towards to cost of free school discos for all the children to attend and enjoy.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our football team plays a crucial role in promoting health, wellbeing and social inclusion. It’s a critical age for children to begin experimenting with alcohol and smoking but having a focus with our team helps to support the boys make positive decisions. We have a range of families in our team, some from deprived areas and a family from Ukraine. Being a part of our team has helped reduce social barriers for these boys and ensure they have a sense of belonging whilst also supporting one of the boys learn to speak English. They are also learning to work positively as part of a team and respect which they take into their daily lives at school and at home with their families. We promote healthy choices as a team and as a result of this many of the boys have joined the gym and attend regularly to keep improving their fitness levels and socialise with one another.</span></span></span></p> <p style="margin-bottom:11px"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Our dedicated coaches volunteer a large amount of time to the team for training, matches and all the organising that goes on in the background.</span></span></span></p>

Sports Council
No comments Irvine
<p>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. </p>

This supports our young people through taking part in drama, acting, dance, wellbeing, singing and public speaking events to further enhance their positive thoughts about their self worth and life experiences.</span></span></span></p>
