OUR GOAL CIC reposted this
💰 Funding 💰 A recurring challenge I have when accessing funding for OUR GOAL CIC is that many grant providers state that their funds cannot be used on programmes, projects and interventions which take place when there should be statutory provision (i.e. during the school day). The problem is that statutory provision does not always meet the needs of all. I believe delivery of interventions during the school day is crucial to reach some of the young people who need it most. Firstly, because it engages those who would not otherwise access the intervention. At OUR GOAL CIC, we particularly work with inactive teens who are unlikely to join a sports club because they have negative experiences of physical activity and don’t see it as a space for them. Secondly, because delivery during the school day removes barriers to participation. This is especially true when working with young people who face access barriers to engaging in after-school clubs such as travel and cost. School-based interventions allow us to physically get to where the young people are, when they're there, and work with them to make a positive difference. #funding #teens
