Diverse - Fitness and Wellbeing has been committed to improving the physical and mental health of young people with special needs within Sunderland, a socio-economically deprived area. During the financial year, the company has focused on the following key activities and achieved significant community benefits: Weekly Fitness Classes for Special Needs Children: Starting in January 2024, Diverse - Fitness and Wellbeing launched weekly fitness classes specifically designed for children aged 12-18 with learning disabilities. These classes aim to enhance overall fitness levels, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular endurance, and muscular strength. Additionally, the sessions are structured to improve social interaction among participants, offering them a space where they feel confident and supported. The classes also provide an invaluable opportunity for parents and carers to meet and build a support network, thus addressing both the physical and mental health needs of the community. Online Health, Wellbeing, and Nutrition Content: The company has actively engaged with the community through social media, posting regular content on health, wellbeing, and nutrition. This online interaction has fostered a sense of community and encouraged healthy habits among participants and their families. Community Impact: The fitness classes have created a welcoming environment where young people with special needs can confidently participate in physical activities. As a result, participants have seen improvements in their fitness levels and developed friendships, contributing positively to their social lives. The target group, which includes special needs children in Sunderland, has shown increased engagement, both in-person and online, through social media platforms. This has extended the company’s reach and impact beyond just the physical classes. Volunteer and Employment Opportunities: A 19-year-old with special needs has been volunteering at the weekly fitness classes. This opportunity is part of his work experience program at college, allowing him to gain valuable skills and experience in a supportive environment. Partnerships and Community Engagement: Diverse - Fitness and Wellbeing has actively participated in several promotional events to raise awareness of special needs services across the North East. The company is also featured in the Rainbow Guide, a directory of special needs services within Sunderland, which has helped connect more families to their programs. Networking with various other service providers across the region has strengthened community ties and enhanced the company’s ability to meet the needs of special needs children in Sunderland. Environmental or Social Impact: While the company’s primary focus has been on improving health and wellbeing, the promotion of their services and participation in regional networks has contributed to raising awareness and advocacy for special needs children and their families.
The stakeholders of Diverse - Fitness and Wellbeing include: Children and Young People with Special Needs: Specifically those aged 12-18 participating in the weekly fitness classes. Parents and Carers of the Participants: Individuals who rely on the services to support the physical and mental wellbeing of their children. Volunteers and Support Staff: Including the 19-year-old volunteer working towards his work experience program. Local Community and Organisations: Particularly those in Sunderland, who are engaged through promotional events and the Rainbow Guide directory. Online Community: Individuals and families who interact with the company’s social media content on health, wellbeing, and nutrition. Consultation Methods: Direct Feedback from Participants and Parents/Carers: After each fitness class, participants and their parents or carers are encouraged to provide feedback on their experience, either through informal conversations or short feedback forms. Volunteer Input: The young volunteer involved in the classes has been regularly consulted to ensure the work experience is beneficial and aligns with his educational goals. His feedback has been used to adapt the volunteer role to better suit his needs. Social Media Interaction: Regular engagement with the online community through comments, messages, and polls on social media has provided insights into the content and services that are most valued by the community. Promotional Events and Networking: Feedback was gathered during promotional events and through interactions with other service providers in the North East. These events also provided opportunities to discuss the needs of special needs children and their families, gaining insights that could inform future programs. Actions Taken in Response to Feedback: Program Adjustments: Based on feedback from participants and their parents or carers, the fitness classes have been adapted to better meet the specific needs of different participants, such as adjusting the pace of activities or incorporating more social interaction opportunities. Enhanced Volunteer Experience: Feedback from the young volunteer has led to tailored support and supervision during classes, ensuring the role remains both challenging and supportive as part of his work experience program. Content Tailoring on Social Media: Interaction with the online community has led to the creation of more targeted content on health and nutrition, with a focus on addressing the specific concerns and interests of families with special needs children. Improved Community Engagement: Feedback from promotional events has highlighted the importance of collaboration with other service providers. As a result, Diverse - Fitness and Wellbeing has established closer ties with these organisations.
