CYCA was approached by Actif Sir Gar to deliver a girl’s only project encompassing sport, we identified eight young people as being suitable for the ‘Us Girls’ project. The work was focussed around the following three themes:

• Food
• Exercise
• Self-care

We created a space and place where young people can spend time with their peers and build social connections, self esteem and confidence whilst trying new things.

Julie and Luke are qualified PT’s and Youth Worker and Teacher and supported the young people during the session.

Overall, the project has been successful, improved social connections, improved confidence, and wellbeing. Young people feel a huge sense of belonging and want to participate in other activities within CYCA.
