Club Matters – Club Health Check
 
As a part of the club support package we are requesting clubs to complete  the Club Health Check to help us get a better understanding of the needs in Manchester and how we can tailor your support.
 
Please Note: When completing the Health Check can you do the following - ‘MCRactive - Name of the Club - North/Central/South’ i.e ‘MCRactive – Football AFC– North’

In Manchester, we recognise that school holidays for some families can be a challenging time. The pressure of reduced incomes and increased costs such as food and childcare can feel hard during these times, and for some children and young people this creates gaps in accessing organised holiday activity.

This can result in ‘unhealthy holidays’ - increased holiday hunger, limited access to nutritious and healthy meals alongside limited access to physical and fun activities. All of which can contribute to the likelihood of experiencing social isolation. Sadly, these issues have also been further exasperated by the Covid-19 pandemic.  
 
In response to this, the Department of Education (DfE) has provided local authorities with Holiday Activity Funding (HAF) to develop a free activity and food programme during the holidays. This means we are able to work with clubs and organisations across the city to develop a food and activity programme to respond to the above, which we know will make a positive impact on the children and young people of Manchester.

This Girl Can Event

MCRactive and Better UK are working in partnership with This Girl Can to deliver an exciting event for women in North/East Manchester.
 
The event will be held at Manchester Regional Arena (indoor) on Wednesday 26 April 2023, 09:00 – 15:30.

The day will be split into two 3-hour sessions; in the morning it will be an open session which anyone can attend, and the afternoon session will be for the college and university students. We are inviting over 20 clubs/organisations to deliver and promote their offer, varying from sports clubs to women’s clothing brands and period support.
 
The aim of the day:

- Empower females to try out different activities in a comfortable environment.
- Showcase the different sporting offer and support that is available for females.
- Opportunity for sports clubs / organisations to sell their offer and gain female members.

Sports clubs will be given an indoor space and various time slots throughout the day to showcase their sport allowing those attending the event to get a taster. Organisations such as women’s clothing brand will have a stall where those attending can visit and ask questions.

If you have a question around work in the local community please contact one of the team NST@mcractive.com
