During the summer of 2020, the Young Hackney Sport Unit (YSHU) decided to deliver a 5 weeks summer programme (July – August) after the national lockdown. The aim with this programme was to offer young people an active outlet after the months confined indoors. To ensure a substantial offer throughout the borough, YSHU decided to divide the borough into 4 areas and this meant up to 30 different sport and physical activities session a week. The need to collaborate with other well-respected organisations based in the borough led to teaming up with Sanchez Ming and his coaches at Team Get Involved Ltd (TGI). Their outstanding reputation and endorsements in regards to delivering sport and physical activities within the community and local schools made it an easy decision to collaborate with TGI. The restriction posed on the delivery of sport and physical activities after the national lockdown meant that our staff had to be adequately trained to deliver the sessions in a Covid19 safe environment. TGI were compliant and involved with our internal team training, as well engaging with other operational procedures. TGI coaches demonstrated great standards with their commitment, knowledge, adaptability and build an amazing rapport with the young people we worked with. We were proud to have collaborated with TGI has we were able to deliver a successful summer programme. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the amazing staff over at TGI in the near future.
