in engaging
the target audience;
individuals|| ||||from lower social economic groups,
long term unemployed,
people|with| ||||disabilities,
who were inactive and moving
them
into at least 30 mins of|| ||||physical
activity aweek.|| ||||The model of delivery
changed
throughout
the years of project, due|to| ||||learning
and insight of how to best engage
our target audience as well as|| ||||the challenges
of the pandemic.|| ||||The project was hugely successful
in particular
engaging
the target|| ||||audience, agroup that is typically
very hard to reach.|| ||||Many positive outcomes were achieved
through
this project with the|| ||||evaluation
highlighting
improved
physical
activity levels, .enhancing|| ||||physical
and mental wellbeing,
self efficacy and 'softer' employability|| ||||skills. Additionally
key piece of learning was the success of the|| ||||community
based asset approach
in reaching
our target audience.|| ||||ESC Lottery Fund —ParaSport|| ||||The project enabled
the Active Life Foundation
to provide specialist|| ||||equipment
to provide inclusive,

physical
activities on|| ||||people's
'doorstep'
in locations were already
attending.|| ||||The project achieved
many outcomes
including-:|| ||||Getting inactive people to become more active - The project beneficiaries|| ||||increased
their physical
activity through
participating
in new sessions|| ||||utilising
the specialised
/ adapted
equipment.|| ||||Develop more resilient
sporting
habits
-We believe resilient
sporting|| ||||habits have been developed
through
regular
and continued
participation|| ||||in physical
activity throughout
the project.|| ||||Lead to more positive attitudes
among young people - We feel role|| ||||models have developed
through
the project, which has helped
physical|| ||||activity to become attainable,
utilising
'someone
like me' effect which has|| ||||had an inspiring
impact.|| ||||We believe physical
wellbeing
and mental
wellbeing
have been improved|| ||||due to the increased
levels of physical
activity
being completed.
Along|| ||||with improved
self-esteem
and confidence through
the mastery effect and|| ||||learning
new skills.|| ||||The sustainability
and the future of the project has been one of the|main| ||||success stories. The Community
Asset Based Approach
was used;|and| ||||the sustainability
of the project is secured through
those assets|| ||||(organisations)
staff and volunteers
taking over the delivery
of the|| ||||sessions to their service users, through
an upskilling
process. As well as|| ||||the value and importance
of physical
activity being enhanced
within|those| ||||organisations.|| ||||The parasport
