Improving Young Lives
Improving Young Lives was established to inspire young people within the local community by creating a safe, fun environment for them to thrive outside of their typical social circle.
The organisation was founded by Clayton and Openshaw residents Daniel Hugo and Curtis Jones who have worked with young people in the area and recognise the need for more personalised and engaging sessions for young people.
We offer a multisport coaching and healthy living workshops focusing on getting the children active and educating them on how to make better lifestyle choices. We do this in a fun interactive way so that they are learning and having fun at the same time. We are hoping we can make a real difference in the area and help with the development of the children for the better.”
Improving Young Lives run half term camps which provide enriching activities for children who receive free school meals. A typical day begins at 9:30 and ends at 13:30.
With specialist coaches and classroom assistants, the Improving Young Lives team offer Arts & Crafts, Football Training, Multi Sports and Netball coaching. A nutritional lunch is also supplied for all students. Camp competitions run throughout where exclusive prizes like football match tickets can be won.
