Newport Live is a highly regarded, locally trusted VCSE, with a strong track record of successfully engaging children, young people, and families living in poverty; using sport / activities as the hook. We have proven experience of demonstrating impact, managing grant funding, and collaborative working (recognising existing Council teams, their support and value, and that of local groups and 3rd sector org's). We will provide additional staff and resource into Duffryn, using local, relatable workers with lived experience, to provide youth engagement activity, mentoring, wellbeing support, & informal education - leading to training, volunteering, & qual's with pathways to employment.
This project will deliver a specialist exercise session at Duffryn Community Centre for adults managing long-term physical or mental health conditions, including those recovering from surgery. The session will provide a safe, supportive and accessible environment to improve physical wellbeing, rebuild confidence and reduce isolation. Many participants face barriers to activity, including low confidence, poor health or disengagement from services. This intervention offers an early step back into movement, routine and community participation, supporting wider pathways into wellbeing and independence.
Mind in Gwent, in collaboration with the Youth and Play Service at Duffryn Community Centre, will guide young people to transform the centre garden into a welcoming space the whole community can use and benefit from. In consultation, the young people fed back that they lacked a voice and recognition of the benefit they bring to their community in Duffryn. Gardening and being outdoors is known to improve wellbeing. Mind in Gwent will provide group sessions and support to work with the young people on their wellbeing, while they work on creating the garden which will stand as a legacy to their contribution to the community in Duffryn and encourage wider community use of the space.
We are a non-profit netball club, set up 4 years ago to enable girls and women in deprived areas of Newport to access recreational netball. Our club has expanded rapidly, and we are now in need of funding for equipment and training courses to serve our expanding club. This funding will allow us to keep our fees low, therefore not creating a barrier for families on a low income.
