    Young people will

    If all previous
    deadlines have been met, participants will undertake an in-practice session;
    this will involve the practical use of visuals and foods to reinforce healthy
    values.  

     

    Activity block 3
    will then be introduced.  Physical activities will continue to be
    introduced each week with a variety of activities and innovative
    sports.  

     

    200 young people
    will start their UK Sport Leadership Award during activity block 3. This will
    involve YP being divided into groups of 6-8; they will be tasked with
    creating, implementing and evaluating a lesson plan of their choice. This can
    range from a variety of different sports and they will work together with
    guidance from both Project Staff and Health Champions.  

    Attention will
    change from the 200 young people to the 24 that have showed evidence of
    potential throughout the previous weeks.  

     

     Workshop with
    industry leading practitioners, this will give an insightful talk on the psychology
    surrounding nutrition, resilience etc.

     

    Young people within
    schools/clubs will have the opportunity to lead an “in-practice” healthy
    eating session. This is where the peer led approach will be
    promoted.  

     

    An additional influx
    of funding may be included after the Christmas period. If so, it will be used
    for a residential for the 24 young women.  

     

    24 young people will
    also gain an NVQ Level 3 in First Aid. This can help increase employability
    under GLL registered buildings and community sector
    organisations.  

     

    In addition, they
    will also receive training in Food Hygiene (NVQ L3) which enables them to
    handle food in group settings. This information can then be relayed back to
    participants from their peers.
