Wednesday 8 April 2015 - London, UK: The Pan London Challenge, held at Millwall FC in partnership with the Millwall Community Trust, brought together the four London boroughs which hosted Asda Foundation Community Champions Tournaments over the past year for one final tournament to celebrate the success of the Asda Foundation and Active Communities Network programme partnership, entering its second year.
The ASDA Foundation and Active Communities Network aim to support young people from the most disadvantaged areas of London to improve their skills for employment and other outcomes relating to their attitudes, confidence, self-esteem and education. ACN are delivering a package of sports and youth work to support young people into volunteering, accredited training and work-experience/placements.
The Pan London Challenge featured three different groups of young people engaged through sport across the day. Over 100 U16 and 100 U18 boys featured alongside 40 13-16 year old girls.
The U18 and U16 boys groups took part in a football competition run by Millwall FC Community Trust coaches with the teams consisting of young people from the ASDA Foundation and Active Communities Network programme partnership projects across London.
The girls and U16 boys group also took part in a fitness challenge run by community delivery partners ‘Train Station’. This consisted of six fitness station challenges with young people competing as teams.
After the Train Station challenge the girls took part in a workshop delivered by Active Communities Network trainers focusing on female participation in sport and empowerment.
Tower Hamlets, Sutton, Brent and Enfield were represented at the event through Asda Store Managers, Colleagues and Community Life Champions as well as through young people – in addition to young people from Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark who participated in the activities, held in the school Easter holidays.
