🏆 Play & Unite Football Camp Finalist at NI Hummingbird Awards! ⚽ It is great to see the Play & Unite Football Camp shortlisted as a finalist in the Community Project category at the NI Hummingbird Awards this March! 🎉 An idea brought to life by Emma Morgan (Celtic Boys Belfast) and Stephen Rea (Knockbreda FC), the initiative brought two clubs together through sport after some on/off the field issues, and supported their young players in good relations, personal development, and mental health support. What started as a simple idea has now left a lasting legacy across Belfast—expanding to 8 clubs in year two and 12 clubs in year three! At Sport Changes Life, we were proud to help co-ordinate and facilitate this project, ensuring its success in uniting young people through the power of sport. The camp has played a vital role in bridging divides, helping young people understand their similarities and differences, and building friendships that go beyond the pitch. Alongside Emma and Stephen, it is important to mention Clanmil Housing Group, Apex Housing Association Connswater, Radius Housing and TAMHI for the support in making the project possible! Supported by ‘Housing for All’, The camp was made possible through the Department for Communities and Housing Executive’s Shared Housing Programme, which originates from the Northern Ireland Executive Together: Building a United Community Strategy. The Strategy reflects the Executive’s commitment to improving community relations and continuing the journey towards a more united and shared society. A massive congratulations to everyone involved —Emma and Stephen - this recognition is truly well deserved! 👏🏻🫶🏻⚽️ #SportChangesLife #PlayAndUnite #CommunityImpact #NIHummingbirdAwards #BridgingDivides

In relation to our previous post -A quick video highlight of our recent team building sessions with the staff of Kingsbridge Healthcare Group A simple but effective way to engage with staff, helping raise awareness of both the Kingsbridge Foundation and Sport Changes Life. We have been building a strategy that helps strengthen relationships with businesses, that not only benefits their staff, but also the local communities that we serve; who benefit from our mission and programmes, all through sport. #SportChangesLife

🤝 Beyond Business with Kingsbridge Healthcare Group 🤝 We had an amazing time delivering team-building sessions back in December with staff from Kingsbridge Private Hospital across their Ballykelly, Danesfort, and Potter’s Quay sites! It was a wonderful opportunity to connect, share more about the Kingsbridge Foundation and Sport Changes Life, and most importantly, take a well-earned break for some festive fun, positive experiences, and team bonding in the lead-up to Christmas. A huge thank you to everyone who took part—our staff enjoyed it just as much🎉 If you would like to hear more or get involved in our Beyond Business initiatives, reach out to us via DM or email info@sportchangeslife.com #SportChangesLife #KingsbridgeFoundation #TeamBuilding #BeyondBusiness #MakingADifference #PositiveImpact

🌟 Tackling ASB Through Sport Through the support of Ards and North Down PCSP, we currently have two Young Ambassador programmes running in Newtownards and Bangor - working with young people through sport, whilst exploring sensitive conversations around risk-taking behaviour, respect, and integrity in the community. 🤝 Simultaneously, by getting them more active and building trust through sport, we’re looking to tackle antisocial behaviour, empowering these young people to make more positive choices and inspire change. 🏃🏻♂️🏃🏻♂️💡 #SportChangesLife #YoungAmbassadors

Well done Randy Butler - congratulations! Keep up the good work!
