FMG Project runs two FREE gym-based coaching programmes for local young people to help empower and equip them for their futures. We primarily work with young people who are facing barriers to participation in sport and exercise, such as, ill or poor mental health, learning difficulties, coming from a low-income family, having a criminal record, disengaging with mainstream education and more.

The programme is designed to equip and empower young people, whilst also providing new experiences and opportunities, so that they are more able to deal with the challenges in their lives and develop life and social skills such as communication, leadership and commitment.

On finishing the programme, young people gain access to other free sessions such as calisthenics, boxing and open gym sessions, where they can make friends and complete their own workout each week.

We are proud to announce that this course is also now CPD accredited, under the name ‘Coaching Fundamentals’, meaning that young people can put it on their personal statements or CVs in the future.
