Active Dorset Funding

 

Active Dorset is funding Space to work closer with the LGBT+ community in getting them more involved in physical activity. We consulted our young people on what they were the most interested in doing and the favourites were self defence swimming and yoga. 

 

We initially hosted six self defence sessions for our Bournemouth and Poole young people. Those sessions finished in May 2019 but hopefully our young people have learnt a lifetime worth of skills! These session became incredibly valuable in helping our young people feel more confident knowing they can protect themselves.

 

You can watch our young people talk about the impact of the sessions here! 

​

A big thank you to Tara for running our sessions, it's been absolutely lovely working with her, and another thank you to Active Dorset for allowing us this opportunity! We will be organising yoga sessions next for 2020.
