... [more] [less]What your organisation does
The organisation carries out its purpose by providing recreational and leisure activities to its members and other members, from community partnership organisations. We currently offer weekly Futsal training sessions and an opportunity to compete in the Northern Ireland Futsal League to our members, composed by individuals from Ethnic Minority
backgrounds and individuals from both sides of the community (Protestant and Catholic). We are also currently working in partnership with Migrant Help (a national organisation that offers services to refugees and asylum seekers) and Limestone United (a local youth group from an Interface area of north Belfast) through which we run weekly Futsal training sessions with the objective of bringing communities from different backgrounds together, offering an opportunity for individuals to remain active and help reduce their levels of isolation. Our program also incorporates an educational aspect through which we share experiences from individuals from different backgrounds, challenge stereotypes relating to racism, discuss aspects relating to anti-sectarianism, and offer Futsal coaching qualifications to some of the individuals. We don't currently have a business plan but this is something that we will be exploring in the next coming months as we have recently become members of SPORTED who will allocate one of their representatives to help us create and complete a detailed Development/Business plan for the club.
