Activities

Delivered by Smart Body Sports and Wigan Athletic Community Trust
Aimed at young people who may benefit from 1-to-1 support or small-group sessions of up to 6 young people. Delivered by Smart Body Sports and Wigan Athletic Community Trust, sessions provide mentoring and enriching activities to build confidence, resilience, teamwork, improve behaviour and positive relationships in school and out in the community.
These sessions are delivered on a weekly basis on a Tuesday and can take place in school or within the community.

Young people aged 11-18 are being provided with weekly 1-2-1 sessions with an experienced youth worker. These sessions are designed to empower young people to become emotionally resilient and capable of achieving their full potential.

Alongside mentoring, Groundwork creates a safe, inclusive space where young people can make friends, build confidence and shape activities that matter to them. Through social action and environmental projects, young people develop skills, improve wellbeing and have their voices heard on local issues.
