Description
Manor Youth Project's (MYP) primary project is aimed at promoting sports-based youth engagement in Manor Park, Newham. Our initiatives include football Projects (Manor FC), Boxing projects (Manor Park Boxing Club), Basketball projects (Manor Park Basketball Club), Funded delivery of PE and after school clubs (Manor Sports in Schools), Youth Football League (Newham Youth League), and free healthy lifestyle education workshops.
We are applying for funding to enhance and expand our sports programmes, making them more accessible to young people in Newham. This funding will enable us to provide additional coaching, equipment, and resources, allowing us to reach a wider audience. Our goal is to engage more youth in healthy physical activities, promote teamwork and discipline, and offer a safe and constructive environment for personal development.
MYP recognises the importance of sports and physical activities in diverting young people away from negative influences. By offering a range of sports sessions and activities, including football, boxing, and basketball, we provide constructive outlets for energy and focus. These sessions instill discipline, teamwork, and self-esteem, ultimately reducing the likelihood of youth involvement in criminal activities. Additionally, our healthy lifestyle education workshops address the root causes of crime by educating youth about the consequences of unhealthy choices and promoting positive decision-making.
As a voluntary organisation in Newham MYP can play a crucial role in addressing drug-related issues among young people by engaging them in sports and healthy lifestyle education. Through our programmes, we offer an alternative to drug use by promoting physical fitness and positive social interactions. We also integrate drug awareness and education into our workshops to inform young people about the risks associated with substance abuse. By providing a positive and supportive environment, we aim to prevent drug misuse and empower youth to make healthier choices.
