County in the Community (Newport)
- Work with young people to develop a plan to achieve an increase in youth social action in local communities, supporting young people to organise projects, and monitoring our progress.
- Make it easier for all young people to find opportunities to take part in local social action and removing barriers to participating.
- Work with our partners – businesses, voluntary and community groups, schools, colleges and others to promote quality social action for all young people and to enable more high quality social action opportunities.
- Be creative, ambitious and innovative in our approach and challenge how we work so that young people are actively involved in our organisation and the community.
In the past year, Community in the Community have engaged with over 1,000 people aged 10-20, offering various sporting opportunities.
This year we have moved further into the South Wales valleys, delivering a wide range of sessions, to male and female youngsters.
We believe that sport is a great vehicle to engage the 10-20 age bracket.
“We work towards all key themes, Sport, Health, Inclusion and Education and age groups provision. Also catering for all ages, genders and religions.
As an organisation our objectives are to further and assist in the education and development (on a social, recreational and physical basis) of the local community.
Our aim is to provide and assist with the provision of sports, recreational and other leisure activities for such persons who have a need for such facilities by reason of their age, ethnicity, infirmity, disability or social and economic circumstances, in the interests of social welfare and improving their life conditions.”
