Sportily Youth Hangout (Youth Clubs)
Dear parents/guardians,
We love having your young person at our youth hangout.
It’s such a fun group and we really hope that they are enjoying getting active with us whilst making friends and talking life! – which is what we are all about as a Gloucestershire-based charity.
Running the group obviously costs us money – everything from hall hire, to insurance, balls and staff time.
But, as a charity we are committed to being ‘Open to All’ and ensuring everyone can join in and #Giveitago.
We know that it’s a bit of a hassle to navigate our website to book your young person in and to try and work out paying a couple of quid each week for a youth club, when they just want to spontaneously come down and have some fun.
In order to ensure the group can continue to run, and to make life a little easier, we are proposing that you no longer need to sign your young person up for each week they want to attend, and that the group will be free to attend.
However, in making that shift, we need your help:
-
If you haven’t already, please complete this consent form, giving permission for your young person to attend the group: Parent/Guardian Consent
-
Please consider signing up as a Sportily Movement Maker – This involves making an automated £10/month charitable donation.
These funds will then be used to invest in the running of the group, and wider activities in the area too. (You can gift aid the donation and cancel at any time).
Please click here to very simply set that up. (There is more info on our website here – we’re registered with the Charity Commission, Fundraising Regulator and ICO for example)
More broadly we know that simply moving more can make the single biggest difference to peoples physical, mental and cognitive health and wellbeing.
As one child recently put it after taking part in a wellbeing activity day: "That was SO much the BEST day of my life!"
That’s why we run youth groups and sports activities – because we’re here to get everyone moving and show that things are a lot more fun when we’re kicking, diving, riding, rolling, running and jumping around together.
If you’ve got any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us using the buttons below, or catch us at the club for a chat.
Thank you so much for your support and for enabling us to keep the club running for everyone.
