Empowering West Brom Youth Through Movement!
We are thrilled to share how our weekly physical activity sessions are transforming the lives of young people aged 11–25 right here at the West Bromwich YMCA!
This isn’t just another fitness class. We have been working side-by-side with our participants to co-create a fun-filled, high-energy project that they actually want to be a part of. By putting young people in the driving seat, we are boosting daily engagement and building lifelong physical literacy skills.
Who Made It Happen?
Bringing this vibrant project to life took a village of dedicated partners. Massive thanks to everyone involved:
- The Next Gen & PPP Teams
- YMCA Youth Café
- UK Youth Active Futures
- BC Coaches Club
The “Lightbulb Moment”
Our incredible partnership with the UK Youth Active Futures programme opened up amazing new perspectives. Through their support, our team dove deep into understanding the real barriers to physical activity, mastering true inclusivity, and navigating the innovation spiral. We also loved connecting with like-minded organisations across the UK to share ideas and strategies.
Best of all? Thanks to the BC Coaches Club, three of our amazing staff members are now fully trained with Level 2 Multi-Sports Coaching qualifications! This means our team is better equipped than ever to deliver top-tier, safe, and engaging sessions for our youth.
