ABOUT CENTRE SPOT
Centre Spot CIC uses physical and creative activities to support young people from deprived communities. This support enables them to adopt healthier lifestyles, divert from negative activities, engage in volunteer projects, increase confidence and self-worth
Centre Spot CIC was founded in 2008 by local people passionate about supporting disadvantaged young people to engage in positive activities and giving them brighter futures. Our Directors and coaching staff all have extensive knowledge of the realities of growing up in disadvantaged communities in the Black Country, the needs of local young people, the barriers they face and the strengths they possess.
Underlying all work carried out by Centre Spot is a commitment to engage with different people across all levels, using sports as a tool to improve a community’s performance, and address issues of social exclusion on six key indicators:
HEALTH
Using sports to combat Health issues, such as adolescent Depression, and Obesity. Developing lifelong positive healthy behaviours and giving young people a firm foundation on which to build in future years. Centre Spot also works with people suffering from Mental Health issues as well as Disability groups, to help improve their physical and mental wellbeing.
RESILIENCE
Using sports to make a positive impact on the social and emotional development and well being of children and young people facing severe disadvantage, by creating positive and lasting change in their lives, and helping them to build and develop resilience for coping with difficult circumstances.
CRIME
Using sports as a distraction to reduce youth crime and anti-social behaviour, and as a cognitive behavioural therapy, engaging young people who are at risk of offending, in positive activities.
EMPLOYMENT
Centre Spot CIC endeavours to secure volunteering opportunities, work experience and when possible, employment for participants in sports and other fields in the leisure industry, by training volunteers and members of the wider community in sports coaching courses and other related fields.
EDUCATION
Developing key employability skills, such as communication, planning and organising, self-management and problem-solving. Establish physical skills in the youngest children through sports, to inspire continued participation in sport and sporting disciplines.
INCLUSION
Using sports to develop psychological traits such as self-esteem and moral responsibility, to enhance social responsibility, encourage community cohesion, and to tackle issues such as racism, bullying, and other forms of discrimination.
Centre Spot Mission Statement
Centre Spot CIC believes in a policy of inclusion. We also believe that everyone is unique. The success of inclusion and the natural acceptance of each other is achieved by including people, regardless of abilities, and allowing each other’s personality to shine through.
