Energise

The Centre secured funding from Torfaen Community Resilience Fund to run a Health and Wellbeing project from December 2023 – February 2024.​ The funding enabled us to buy new gym equipment to bring our gym back into use. It also enabled us to run a ‘Food and Mood’ project, provide yoga and fitness workshops with a trained instructor and provide a six week ‘Resilient Me’ programme focused on wellbeing.

 

115 young people took part in the activities over 3 months. Young people explored the relationship between food and mood including researching ‘mood boosting’ recipes and creating and sharing them. The cooking sessions were very popular amongst participants and saw lots of young people take part. Many young people formed new friendships whilst participating in the activities.

Young People who took part in the Energise project reported increases in their knowledge, skills and confidence.
