Sport

Active Southend

Active Southend aim to increase sport and physical activity levels within the Borough.

We funded their extra-curricular activities for local young people who struggle in mainstream school and have been affected by crime. These included Kickboxing classes, cooking workshops, and a Fire Break scheme, where trained firefighters lead sessions to increase the young people’s self-worth and teamwork skills.

This alternative form of learning helps to build the pupil’s confidence and aspirations for the future.
