US Active is a North East based children and young people’s charity which funds a range of sport, fitness and other physical activities for individuals and small groups of young people identified as experiencing or being at risk of developing mental health difficulties. Agencies from the health, care, education, justice and voluntary sectors introduce young people to US, whilst some young people and their parents self-refer.
We have recently been awarded a grant from Sport England’s Movement Fund which is funding this post for 12 months. Our 0.4 Keyworker will provide support to those young people and parents/carers engaged on the Mind Fit Programme as well as supporting other young people with mental ill health to attend sport and exercise activities in their local community.
Keyworkers support young people throughout their US journey: meeting with and identifying needs and interests, successfully supporting into an activity, monitoring progress and providing progression support including the development of an Exercise Progression Plan.
