Our Young Fit and Active will be delivered in Coleraine, Limavady, Londonderry, and Strabane throughout 2007.

Phab NI Inclusion Matters is encouraging local youth, community, and/or sports organisations in the Northwest to become partners in its delivery in these four locations. The programme aims to impact on the following groups:

Young people with and without disabilities at home.

The programme targets young people with and without a disability who are currently often excluded from opportunities to engage in physical activity. Young people with a disability experience a lack of provision and difficulties in identifying and accessing such opportunities, and there is no real encouragement for this target group to engage in any programs.

Local Volunteers

There is also a lack of trained professionals who can deliver inclusive physical activity programmes. The project will therefore create new training opportunities for 20 local volunteers (ie approx. 5 per location) interested in physical activity, based on a solid understanding of disability issues.

Local Partner Organisations

Phab NI Inclusion Matters has long established experience and expertise in working with young people with and without a disability together, this work being firmly based on the principles of equity, diversity, interdependence, and social inclusion. As a small organisation in staffing terms, it relies on working in partnership on many fronts, in order to share and disseminate its expertise and knowledge in the most effective manner; the programme will therefore be delivered through partnerships with groups or clubs in 2007 in Coleraine, Limavady, Derry and Strabane.
