Active Through Football

"Active Through Football (ATF) is a Sport England & Football Foundation funded project, that is centered around providing physical activity opportunities for individuals who have previously faced barriers. ATF works by giving ownership of sessions to our communities and encouraging leadership development. I'm working closely with several partner organisations across the city to use the ATF funding to provide free and fun sessions that include (but are not limited to) football, boxercise, soccercise and football yoga, These activities are tailored to support individuals get active in a way that suits them, and they have a say in the activity, the time & the place. The goal is to create sustainable habits to help not only their physical, mental and social well-being but also enhance life skills. This project is using a place-based approach to capture our audiences, with the West Oldham corridor being chosen for the 5-year project, and we are looking at supporting individuals 16+.
