Developing skills and confidence through sports

Staff and the people we support at Affinity Supporting People, created their own football team.   The team was created to help the people we support to get involved in local activities and interact with other individuals within the care services. It was also a great opportunity for individuals to keep fit and develop their football skills.   Staff worked closely with the individuals to ensure that training/practices were organised on days that suited them and that they were having fun.   The team has joined a football league that has been designed for people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, and mental health, allowing people to interact with others at a similar skills level and make new friends.

Well done to Affinity FC and everyone at NCG would like to wish you all the best for the rest of the season!
