This project was a continuation of previous CR projects involving Newlodge, Shankill and Shortstrand. Due to the young people having bonded during past projects we decided to run a keep fit project over the summer which also involves elements of healthy eating. The project took place in Shankill Bytes and involved 6 users from each centre taking part in a 6 week boxercise and healthy eating régime. The Big Deal funding covered the cost of accreditation, personal trainers, healthy food and transport for 3 centre’s. A celebration event was held on Thursday 30th September at Newlodge Bytes, to recognise the achievements and accreditation of all users involved.
This project was a chance to carry out intervention work with young people from different communities over the summer months with the overall aim to increase a greater understanding of each other’s culture identity and cement friendships that have already becoming to form.
