A group of young people recently celebrated being the first to complete the Community Sports Foundation’s new Realising Potential programme.
Realising Potential is aimed at children and adults with learning or physical disabilities and helps to improve skills and raise the aspirations of those taking part.
Thanks to support from Norfolk Hire Ltd and the Professional Footballers Association, the sessions are free for participants who attend a 10-week programme and work on skills such as:
- CV writing, interview techniques, and personal independence workshops (adults)
- AQA Personal Development Qualifications (adults)
- Volunteering & employment opportunities (adults)
The group also benefit from:
- Advice and one-to-one support
- Multi-sports, dance and other active sessions
- Additional educational support (children)
The group were presented with their certificates from Foundation staff member Ellie Dickinson, who delivers the Realising Potential programme.
