‘On The Move’ with Assist Trust

Since a previous sports group engaged with the ‘On The Move’ program, we’ve noticed;

• Increased confidence to try new

things/different activities and groups at Assist (not sports related).

• Increased confidence/ability to follow

instructions, which has aided certain members with developing their employment skills.

• Noticeably improved team work skills and

positivity in encouraging others.

• More willingness and desire to participate

in sports.

On the move

At Holt Community Hub

An An expe perien rience ced d mem ember r of Ac Active Norf rfolk lk

Came to HCH on a weekly basis for 10 weeks, providing enjoyable exercises. Those sessions were fun and the games provided physical interactions as a group. The sessions showed that they could work “as a team” and still have fun

Every Customer was able to join in the activities that were provided

The equipment enabled the sessions to be fun. Exercising became enjoyable for those who avoided it in the past.

Emotional wellbeing

My Confidence improved

Those that felt that they were unable to take part in the activities soon realised that they were able to accomplish and experience fun through exercise.

Active Norfolk were very friendly, helpful and supportive.

They encouraged our customers to try new and exciting things Resulting in improved posture Gross motor skills Team interactions.

Noticeable improvement in friendships whilst having fun.
