activ8 - work with young people

Pride Sports commitment to increasing opportunities for participation by young people can been seen through its activ8 programme, which includes Pride Games’ annual Youth Games, and a number of joint initiatives planned in partnership with LGBT Youth North West, North West England’s voluntary youth work infrastructure organisation.

Successes to date have included three Youth Games, and a Euro Youth Games planned for 2010, as well as a range of football projects including: a week long football camp for young people, regular football coaching for young women and projects which have taken young women (some of whom had previously never left the UK) to compete in international LGBT sports tournaments, both in Montreal and Barcelona.
