Recipient Organization

The project aims to encourage students to learn about techniques to develop a healthy mind and body, to respect the environment and to develop a perspective of 'the bigger picture' i.e. see the value of school subjects in real life scenarios and the connection they have with the environment. The project will run Wrexham football club numeracy and coaching sessions, a local gym will train students how to be 'young PT instructors', a teacher will gain a spin bike instructor qualification, music & art for health sessions after school, students will attend farm visits and Llysfasi College. It is easy to assume that in modern times children should have a good awareness of how to be fit and healthy. However, some children have limited life experiences and limited awareness of where their food comes from, they don't realise the impact of their food choices. These days, indoor time is substantially dominated by technology and physical inactivity. The close links between depression, obesity, stress, and anxiety indicate there is likely to be a high cost to mental health if the current generation does not change its indoor lifestyle. By visiting local farms, children can learn about different professions, ideas, and opportunities. The increase of community interaction can help motivate students to learn more about food production and food safety, it would give them an appreciation of buying locally grown produce and reducing their reliance on plastic packaging. By engaging in clubs aimed at improving physical and mental health children will develop good lifestyle habits and reduce their time spent indoors. The grant will be used to pay for staff costs, volunteer costs, qualifications, room hire, materials and transport.
