Unfortunately, as with most things, children from impoverished families suffer when it comes to their choice of after school activities, either due to their families not being able to afford it or due to inaccessibility, with schools not having the budgets or councils not investing.

Children attending after school activities tend to have better grades and be more interested in pursuing higher education, they develop better social skills. When it comes to playing sports aside from helping the children engage in teamwork, it is a good deterrent against obesity which is another effect of poverty on children.

After school activities reduce a child’s risk of anxiety and depression, they increase children’s self esteem and lead them to do better academically. Is it not then, unfair to strip the opportunity for this kind of personal growth from some children simply because they don’t have the material means?

​

Aside from sports we will be supporting the children in attending creative after school activities. In the current climate in the UK, when most people pursuing artistic careers such as music and acting, are coming from upper class, privileged backgrounds (look up how many famous british actors attended Eton) it is more important than ever to encourage children coming from less than desirable circumstances to follow their artistic passions.

We want to provide them with a good selection of activities to choose from, aiming to offer them football, boxing, karate, DJ classes, music production, photography.
