The Council recently ran a project called 'Aloud Outdoors' with Richmondshire District Council. The aim of the scheme was to bring adventurous play back and shake off the 'cotton wool' culture that cocoons youngsters today. Play is an essential part of a child's life and vital for their development - they need to explore the world around them to develop skills and expertise.
This scheme improved play opportunities for children (aged 5-11 years) living in rural communities. Play Rangers ran approximately 60 play sessions a year across the two districts from October 2008 to September 2011. Activities included everything from den building and water slides to making mud pies and perfumes. The sessions used local facilities such as village halls, village greens and local playing fields.
The locations were determined by the Hambleton and Richmondshire Play Partnerships based on communities that lacked any form of play provision. During the three years the scheme visited Barton, Brandsby, Chopgate, Croft, Danby Wiske, Eppleby, Picton, Reeth, Sessay, Scorton, Snape, Scotton, Helperby/Brafferton, Middleham, West Burton, Great Smeaton, Catterick Village and South Otterington
Stokesley Intergenerational Project
Back in 2009 the Council faciliated an Intergenerational Project in Stokesley in response to higher than average incidents of anti-social behaviour by young people and fear of crime in older people. A number of activities were run which culminated in the production of a toolkit Opens in a new window to share our experiences with other groups who are interested in running their own intergenerational projects.
Sportivate - a new funding opportunity
On 15th November 'Places People Play', the mass participation legacy from the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games was launched, backed up by £135 million of National Lottery funding. The legacy will be delivered by Sport England, in partnership with the British Olympic Association, the British Paralympic Association and the London Organising Committee of the Olympic and Paralympic Games. It will bring the inspiration and magic of a home Olympics and Paralympics into the heart of local communities, encouraging more people to get involved in sport.
Under the 'Play' heading is a grants programme called Sportivate, a nationwide campaign that will capture the excitement of sport, providing opportunities for teenagers and young adults (aged 14-25) to receive between 6 - 8 weeks of coaching in the sport of their choice and guiding them into regular participation within their community. if your organisation is interested in applying for funding from Sportivate please contact the Council's Active for Life Officer or Community Leisure Officer
