Supported by Trafford Council and delivered in partnership with Gorse Hill Studios.  

These are fun, relaxed and totally inclusive sessions designed to increase social skills, healthy habits, offer young people new experiences and life skills.

Sport Works provides engaging and stimulating sessions of mixed activities some developing skills in leadership, group working, communication and organisation, examples of activities are; target hoops, basketball, boccia, dodgeball, tag rugby, hockey, cricket, gymnastics, Danish cricket, tag rounders, street dance, cheerleading, non-contact martial arts, rock climbing, volleyball, new age Curling, bean bag ball and many more

At the same sessions Gorse Hill Studios provides mixed sessions based around creative arts and expressions, as such young people have a complete choice of which to do at each visit.

Gorse Hill Studios implements a rolling programme of innovative arts (Drama, Dance, Media, Visual Arts and Music) and youth work techniques to create and provide opportunities, empower participants, increase wellbeing and potential. The group explores and identifies a theme for each session that culminates in a series of skills sharing and show back events.

Trips and days out will also form part of the offer and through our Parent/Carer Forum we will explore the most suitable options.

At the end of the day it is about 2 things; ensuring the young people enjoy themselves and to offer parents/carers a short break! 

These sessions also run during the school/college holidays throughout the week.
