The Positive Activity Referral Scheme aims to provide a sport and physical activity pathway for young people and their families to increase their activity levels. We aim to improve self-confidence whilst reducing anxiety towards sports and physical activity.
The 12-week programme provides support and guidance for both the individual and their family to access sport and physical activity within the community. Participants are assigned a PARS Co-ordinator who will create a Physical Activity Plan, offer guidance and encourage a positive lifestyle change.
PARS has really helped young people use physical activity to overcome a wide range of challenges they face, not only do they improve their physical health, but also their mental health and have developed new and better relationships with those around them.
