ProFormance Pathways Christmas Camp.
ProFormance Pathways Friday Night play and talk football sessions.
Massive thank you to Hertfordshire and West Essex council for funding this programme as part of the Suicide Prevention grants programme.
The programme will run for 9 weeks across November 2021 to January 2022, This will run on a weekday evening, 6.30pm-8pm.
Each evening will be made up of roughly 1 hour 30 minutes of football and 30 minutes opportunity for the players to go inside for a chat / talk in a relaxed environment.
The session will be mainly match based to incorporate as many adults as possible targeting males aged 18-35 mainly. We aim to use physical activity as a tool to have a positive effect on male adults who are suffering with mental health issues.
The football session prior to the opportunity for a relaxed chat will break down barriers and make the individuals feel more relaxed and confident to share any problems or feelings they have.
We aim to work with local mental health services who can advertise the opportunity to those who are suffering with mental health problems. As well as driving a social media campaign to target those who may be at risk of suffering a mental health problem which could lead to them taking their own life.
Through this project we hope to positively effect the lives on males aged between 18-35 mostly.
Regular exercise can have a profoundly positive impact on depression, anxiety, and ADHD. It also relieves stress, improves memory, helps you sleep better, and boosts your overall mood. And you don’t have to be a fitness fanatic to reap the benefits. Research indicates that modest amounts of exercise can make a real difference. No matter your age or fitness level, you can learn to use exercise as a powerful tool to deal with mental health problems, improve your energy and outlook, and get more out of life.
We are very keen to use this programme both as an intervention for those who are already struggling or maybe at risk of struggling with mental health problems which may lead to suicide.
Those who attend will create lasting bonds and relationships with individuals on the programme and will create a lasting support network for the group.

HAPpy Camp
ProFormance Pathways together with ProFormance Global are delivering as part of the HAPpy scheme during the Easter break 2021.
Hertfordshire County Council has joined forces with the Herts Sports Partnership and the Hertfordshire Community Foundation, to organise a programme for the forthcoming Easter Holidays aimed at countering the triple inequalities facing Hertfordshire’s most disadvantaged young people – holiday hunger, physical inactivity and social isolation.
Those children who currently receive free school meals are able to book onto the ProFormance football camp for free, they are able to take part in football activities, further enrichment tasks and receive a free hot meal at lunch time.
This is a fantastic programme which offers children an opportunity for a safe and secure place to exercise, socialise and eat a nutritious meal during the school holiday which can be an uncertain time for families under financial constraints.
This programme is born from the tireless work of Marcus Rashford and we are very proud to be involved!
Sporting Chance
ProFormance Pathways are very happy to be working with Herts Sports Partnership and the Adventure Playground to deliver the Sporting Chance programme.
Sporting Chance is a sport-based programme aimed at young people on the cusp of the youth justice system. Young people’s feedback has been at the heart of our planning and consequently, the programme is designed in line with the thoughts of the target demographic. With football, boxing and basketball highlighted as the most sports, we have created sessions throughout all 10 district areas in the county, working with schools, community centres, sports clubs and Educational Support Centres to ensure that the offer is comprehensive and can deliver to as many young people as possible.
The ProFormance Pathways Sporting Chance programme kicks off in April on Monday evenings 5pm – 7pm at Grovehill Adventure Playground, HP2 7BA.
