Lockdown due to Covid-19 2020 – present
We connected with young people and parents during the lockdown and continued to support them through online physical activities. We provided them with the necessary equipment to get more active and stay fit. This equipment included: Kickboxing Kit, Gym Mat, Skipping Ropes, Football and Air Pump. Activities Physical Activities Aerobic Gymnastics Rhythm Gymnastics Football Training Kickboxing Funded by Active Partners (Active Derbyshire and Active Nottinghamshire)
2020 Lockdown Exercise, Fitness and Wellbeing Support 11+
When the first lockdown started, our team contacted the families we work with to find out their needs and how we could help. While speaking to the families, it became evident that children and young people were getting bored at home, not knowing what to do many were becoming very anxious about staying at home and not seeing their friends. We ask the children and young people if there was anything that we could do about the situation, the response we got back was that they would like to meet with their friends but that can’t happen face to face. Some of the young people suggested maybe meeting online to chat with others could be fun. With that initial idea of meeting online it developed into meeting online to do an activity. Further conversations lead to the choice of fitness and exercise online. As a result, we delivered seven weeks exercise and fitness classes via Zoom and created a YouTube channel where children and young people can access free online fitness lessons. Through online and face to face engagement, the project is now tackling some of the health inequalities in relation to physical inactivity, among ethnic minorities and disadvantaged young people in Derby. The aim is to increase access and participation in fitness and exercise for young people particularly those from socially deprived backgrounds.
