Active Schools Winchburgh and Sinclair
Active Schools job is to promote physical activity within schools. We have a priorities in supporting under developed groups. I have created a programme called Momentum to support physical fitness and mindset with girls in high school. The hope is to get a sponsor to enable coaches to come in and lead sessions such as Pilates, yoga, sound bath and personal training. As a sponsor advertisement of your company will be podcast on Active Schools social media as well as schools social media and West Lothian council. Reaching a variety of different people.
Target Audience
Target audience is for females only starting with high school pupils aged 11-18 years old coming from the local Winchburgh and Linlithgow area. This will be across two high schools which is a large amount of pupils. After the pilot the target age will be Primary 7 pupils from 5 local primary schools aged 10-11 years.
Key Dates and Timings
This project doesn’t have a start date yet, due to the need for funding. The project will be a yearly occurrence, if successful after the high school pilot.
Specific Opportunity Details
Momentum will be role out across both Winchburgh and Sinclair Academy reaching all female pupils, in the hope to them role this programme out each year to primary 7 pupils in the following schools: Holy family PS, St Josephs Linlithgow PS, St Nicholas PS, Hawkhill PS and Winchburgh PS. The programme is to target in active pupils by introducing them to activities such as yoga and Pilates to engage in sport at a slower pace. The work book looks at positive affirmations, life goals, selfcare and physical fitness. This is a 6 week programme where pupils will meet with a trained coach who will lead a physical activity session and complete one page of the workbook. This is key in developing self awareness and importance of keeping out bodies and mind active and talking about any worries focusing on out emotions. Sponsorship would allow for the books to be printed and coaches to come in and lead the sessions.
Features and Benefits
Sponsor would have there logo on the workbook, promoted on social media via Active schools social media as well as the schools involved social media. Parents from all schools will be informed and a report will be processed after the 6 weeks and published form sponsor and families to read about the benefit of the programme.
Other Partners
Currently I have no partners involved. If we get sponsorship, I will look to employee local coaches to take the sessions.
Investment
To run the pilot I am looking for an investment of: roughly £3,660
Breaking that down to cover the following :
6 weeks of a sport Coach £30 per hour £180 for 6 weeks. This will be split over 10 weeks for each age group totalling £ 1,800
Printing of the booklets £500
If possible I would like to get them a water bottle with out logo on it for completing the 6 weeks. roughly costing £1,330 for 1000 bottles.
Other Info
Active Schools doesn’t have a budget we rely on volunteers and grants to run sporting events in West Lothian Council. This programme would benefit females as an area to develop confidence and knowledge of sports and mindfulness.
