For Children Project
 Previous Projects
Project
Duration Sept 2007 – March 2008
We targeted 20 disadvantaged children (aged
9 to 18) with disability, who were not active in outdoors
and indoor sports, from Westminster
Council's deprived areas especially from Queen's
Park and Church Street areas. The facilities couldn't
be provided by their parents due to their
dependency on low income and in most cases
welfare benefits. Despite pure interest the
parents were unable to commit time and resources
for the benefits of the sporting activities
of their disabled children.
It is here that we were able to develop, support and
encourage children with disability to participate
in a variety of sports and activities. Our
project definitely impacted on Every Child
Matters 5 Outcomes which is Being Healthy,
Enjoying and achieving, staying safe and Making
contributions
 We organised a 2 day a week disability sports & physical activities on every Thursday
and Saturday at 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Methodist
Church -Fernhead Road, London, W9 3EA . Project
Duration Sept 2007 – March 2008
We ran participation projects which encouraged
and enabled more children with disabilities
to lead an active lifestyle.
We supported 20 beneficiaries that worked with disability
sports & physical activities, by having a qualified
development worker.
We encouraged and supported mainstream sports
and leisure organisations to include children
with disabilities in their programmes.
We ran Disability Awareness Training For Staff &
Volunteers (2 Session of 2 hrs per Training:
15th October 2007 and 3rd February 2007)
We organised 4 Outdoor Trips to local Open park/ Museum & Local Historical Heritage places. More projects will be organised in the future.
