Engaging Roma Adults in Sports and Fitness
The Roma community of Newport face multiple disadvantages, including social and economic deprivation. This is unfortunately typical of the Roma communities of the rest of Wales and the UK as a whole. The Roma of Newport are not accessing local sport.
This is an ambitious number for a 1 year project.
Working with local organisations and sports venues, our project will provide Roma men from Newport with a safe space in their local area to access a range of sporting opportunities so that the community can access a local sports venue and take part in mainstream sports. The regular weekly community activities will not only engage Roma in sports at local venues, it will also ensure that the Roma community engage with local sporting organisations and venues, thus also benefitting the local economy
This is an ambitious number for a 1 year project.
We will meet fortnightly as a project team to identify learning and then quarterly as trustees.
