Para 1.20 | CCNC has supported Women & young people to participate in netball, fitness and social activity throughout the year supporting people who would otherwise be unable to afford it. We have developed a Netball support system for women and girls of all ages to access, providing opportunities to engage in competitive leagues. We run a session every Monday night and Saturday mornings which averages between 18 and 25 attendees each week. Most participants have attended at least 20 times over the year. Additionally, there has been the opportunity to take part in social (friendly) netball matches, helping to build the confidence of our members and connect with others across the city. 20 women and girls have taken part in 25 social games as well as 2 tournaments. Two members have done Safeguarding training and another has participated in netball qualifications. The team is integrated in the social element of our club, providing support, guidance and aspiration to our younger/newer members and friendship to those not interested in pursuing the sport competitively. Additionally, we have a supportive and active Whatsapp, wishing people happy birthday, well wishes when poorly and supporting in difficult times. We also share resources via Whatsapp, such as events and activities that we are involved in at work and otherwise. Whatsapp is a great resource to keep in touch and supports people to feel connected and have a sense of belonging. |
