Vision Sports Academy CIC were actioned with increasing the awareness and participation of females in football, focussing on the 11-25 years age bracket.  Following an extensive advertising campaign we registered participants to complete our projects and have now set up a permanent, girls only football session as a suitable exit route.  We have also forged a sustainable link with a recognised girls football team.

Vision Sports Academy CIC were commissioned by the National Lottery to deliver a project providing a pro-health experience for the entire family. We delivered a new family and community-focused weekly session which promoted exercise, and physical activity opportunities for residents living in Birmingham.
Family Fun Club provided a 'one stop shop' approach to physical activity, offering multiple physical activities which were simultaneously accessible to families at a community venue within their area. Family Fun Club encouraged parents to join their children in our activities; serving as role models for their children and vice versa, additionally, they would derive the benefits of good health through their participation.
​
Under the project, our overarching objectives were focused on:
​
  • Creating stronger communities
  • Enabling healthier and more active people and communities
  • Providing people with better life chances
