About Us
About Us
Our purpose is to inspire active futures, through providing positive experiences of physical activity to children, young people and their families. Put simply, we want to ensure that all young people have the opportunity to be physically active and most importantly, enjoy it, so they remain active for life.
We are the only organisation in Herefordshire dedicated to young people’s physical activity. As experts in PE, school sport and physical activity, we advocate the benefits of this to positively impact young people’s physical health, mental wellbeing, personal and social development – including increasing confidence, resilience and self-esteem.
Our Objectives:
Health and wellbeing: We will support and enhance the physical health and mental wellbeing of young people in Herefordshire and the surrounding areas
Partnerships: We will Broaden partnerships in and across sectors to develop meaningful, shared outcomes and create an environment where young people and future generations will embrace and embed the values of being more physically active
Growth: We will identify new opportunities for growth to develop sustainable income sources.
Empower: Encourage and empower schools and professionals to adopt a whole school approach to embedding PE, school sport and physical activity.
Knowledge: Develop and share knowledge to diversify the support and insight we can offer to schools and partners
Create: Provide platforms and opportunities for young people to have meaningful, positive experiences within PE, sport and physical activity.
We really value all the opportunities that you provide for us - leadership, targeted groups, ‘Here Girls Can’, have all been excellent initiatives that we are lucky to have been a part of. Our students have thrived and increased their confidence in a variety of activities and have accessed opportunities that they may not have had the chance to do.
