Story
14,000 Step Challenge and Impact Football
Footballers cover around 14,000 steps per game! Our families are taking part in 4 football skills group sessions, with our partner Impact Football. The aim is that everyone will complete 14,000 steps over the 4 sessions. Raising money for future Impact Football groups.
14,000 steps... do it your own way
Individual supporters are taking on the 14,000 steps challenge through their own activity- walking, running, tennis. If you're interested in taking part, feel free to email kath.muirhead@children1st.org.uk and keep us posted. Donate your sponsorship total here. Be as creative as you like, it's that easy!
A little bit more about us...
Children 1st East Lothian are fundraising to develop fun activities for families in the area, like the Impact Football Project which is a collaboration between Children 1st and Impact Football East Lothian. Socially inclusive football sessions are delivered in a fun, vibrant and caring environment for young people. This benefits their development as people, not just footballers! We use football as the vehicle to develop key core skills within our young people such as Confidence, Respectfulness, Determination, Communication and Teamwork skills. This creates an opportunity for family fun!
Connor * had lots of fun playing football; he felt more confident when he played football. He made some new friends and felt happier at home after playing football
The girls really enjoyed it and the exercise was good for them. All 3 girls really were disappointed when the group finished and are really keen for it
