OUR CURRENT PROJECTS
What We’re Working On
We’re working on 3 main projects, we’ve broken them down below and will regularly update their status.
Working with young people
Project:Teens
We are piloting this project with a group of pupils from a local school who have SEMH (Social, Emotional and Mental Health difficulties).
Momentum in Fitness are facilitating weekly exercise sessions at CrossFit Southampton, which are focused around strength and conditioning activity.
The aim of our sessions is to provide pupils with the opportunity to participate in alternative physical activity in a specialised environment. We’ve had great feedback from the participants and supporting staff so far, and we are seeking to secure funding to continue (and possibly expand) the project over the next year.
Working with young people with Cancer
Project:PiamBrown
We are working closely with a Paediatric Oncologist at Southampton General Hospital to support children and young people with cancer to participate in exercise and physical activity.
The project facilitates two exercise professionals to visit the Piam Brown ward on a weekly basis to deliver individualised exercise sessions to children admitted to the hospital for treatment or attending the ward as day patients
Participating in regular physical activity when having cancer treatment may help young people to manage the side effects associated with their treatment and make their overall quality of life better, as recent studies have proved that being active has a very positive impact on patient recovery and should be encouraged.
We started delivering this phase of the project in January 2024.
Working with older adults
Project:FitForLife
Our Project:FitForLife aims to increase access to and participation in exercise for older adults. The project will deliver a specialised fully funded 12-week course, followed by weekly exercise sessions lead by trained coaches to increase activity levels, improve physical health, strength and mobility and reduce social isolation.
The first hour of the session will be the exercise class, the second part will be a coffee morning providing the participants with an opportunity to socialise and form connections.
We received funding in January 2024 for this poject and we began our first cohort in June 2024
