Scottish Sports Futures is urging young people to come along to their free multi-sports sessions in Govan.
The Shell Twilight sessions are held every Friday from 5pm until 7pm at Harmony Row Youth Club on Row Avenue and are aimed at young people aged between 12 and 25.
Sponsored by Shell and Cashback for Communities, Govan Youth Information Project youth workers and SSF community sports coaches vary the weekly sessions with the opportunity to try different sports as well as provide advice and support on lifestyle issues including drugs and anti-social behaviour.
“We’re pleased that session numbers are increasing following the pandemic but we’re keen for anyone who might be interested to come along and give it a try. “The sessions provide a safe and fun environment and an opportunity to develop skills, make friends and be active.”
Diane Barbour, SSF Youth Development Coordinator (Glasgow)
Headquartered in Glasgow, Scottish Sports Futures use the power of sport and physical activity to engage with vulnerable and disadvantaged young people in Scotland and empower them to be confident, healthy and happy. We do this using our proven and recognised Sport for Change model and its range of person-centred, youth-led programmes that provide positive experiences, inspiring role models, engaging social education, training, and youth volunteering opportunities. As a result, we seek to encourage a positive change in young people’s attitudes and behaviour that enables them to recognise and fulfil their potential, and to make a valuable contribution to their peers and their community.
