Who are we?
We are GolfForeAll CIC and we have worked in the North East community teaching golf at over 120 schools and working with over 30,000 children since January 2022. Over the last 2.5 years we have coached a range of children from different economic backgrounds in deprived and affluent areas.
Throughout the last 2.5 years we have undertaken a range of different projects to impact our community in a positive way. We have delivered 6 different HAF (Holiday Activities Food) Programs providing children with free activities and food over the Easter, Summer & Winter holidays. We also worked alongside the national lottery to deliver free weekly multisport projects in areas of deprivation in Middlesbrough to reduce antisocial behaviour in primary and secondary school children throughout 2023.
From your kind donations children will gain golf skills in a mastery climate delivered by experienced and skilled golf coaches who have coached in primary, secondary and SEND schools, delivered teacher training programmes and more.
Why are we crowdfunding?
We have inspiring plans to improve children's opportunities in deprived areas of Middlesbrough. Schools will be provided with free in school curriculum golf sessions for children to become more active whilst improving their social and mental wellbeing. The games played can be altered to support active classrooms, where they can learn maths and english skills, whilst moving around hitting their 60 minutes per day, physical activity goal. Golf Fore All is registered as a community interest company.
How we’ll spend the money raised
The funding from this Crowdfunder is to increase participation of more schools giving children an opportunity to play new sports and have an impact on the lasting legacy of golf. The funding will allow us to increase the number of schools coached per week and help children reach potential with pathways to golf clubs.
Over the last couple of years we have coached in numerous schools but want to increase the opportunity for every school. We have found that some of the schools in deprivation are enjoying our golf sessions but do not have enough school premium to get everyone involved but we aim to use these donations to get as many of the school children involved as possible.
Our aim is to make golf accessible and available to all and we do not want any of our school children to miss out on these opportunities available to them.
Community impact
Golf Fore All has a large network with primary schools in Tees Valley and encourages children to local golf clubs in the community. The CIC has also conducted multiple community events helping the local area of Middlesbrough and want to carry on doing this on a wider and regular basis.
