π Another week of building the foundations. πͺπ±
This week weβve continued our youth work across Cambridgeshire, and it genuinely feels like Fitness Rush is becoming increasingly established as a youth provider alongside the community work weβve been delivering for many years. ππ
Today we started another new programme at Aurora Fairway School in St Ives, and what a great way to finish the week! ππ
What a lovely bunch of students and staff. π Everyone was incredibly welcoming and helpful, and our qualifications got off to a brilliant start. πͺπβ
Next week we go again! π Weβll be starting with more schools across Peterborough and Cambridge City, continuing to build relationships with young people, families, schools and communities. π€π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦π«
For me, this is where the real importance of this work comes in. π
We can talk about exercise πββοΈ, nutrition π₯ and healthy lifestyles πͺ, but it goes much deeper than that.
If we can work with young people early enough, help them understand their health π§ β€οΈ, give them positive experiences, build their confidence and provide opportunities and pathways πβ‘οΈ, we can hopefully influence some of the choices and behaviours that follow them into adult life.
The same applies to working with families. π¨βπ©βπ§βπ¦ Healthy habits, positive routines and an understanding of nutrition and physical activity can start at a young age and have an impact for years to come. π±π₯πββοΈ
Weβre not expecting exercise to solve every problem. But if we can use it as a tool to engage π€, educate π, build relationships π and create opportunities πͺ, then we have a chance to make a real difference.
For us, the long-term goal is simple:
π Prevention rather than cure. π
π± Build the foundations early.
π€ Support people before they reach crisis point.
π― Give young people opportunities to succeed.
