There are summer schemes arranged annually and at holiday times to ensure that young people have sports activities ongoing all year round. We engage & train volunteers who assist our coaching and we run coaching programmes in partnership with other agencies on an estate level to gain young people’s involvement in sport which could lead to employment opportunities in the sports.
