Our Project.

The 12 week community project aims to support the black community to become more physically active using psychological tools.

Over the 12 weeks you will receive weekly online 1-2-1 sessions which last 45 minutes. The aim of these sessions will be to support you in overcoming any barriers you have which are stopping you from being physically active. These can include:

  • Lack on time

  • Not enjoying physical activity

  • Lack of self confidence

  • Not knowing where to start

    The barriers faced by the black community can sometimes be bigger than these issues too. This can look like you enjoy swimming but the impact on your hair isn’t worth it or not finding a cycling helmet to fit your locs.

Why Is This Needed?

There are several stats that showcase why the Rebuild Health project is needed, these include:

  • 29.2% of the black community are inactive and 14.8% are fairly active - Sports England

  • The black community is more likely to be physically inactive - Gov UK

  • 67.5% of black adults are overweight or Obese - Gov UK

  • The black community is three times more likely to develop Type 2 Diabetes - Diabetes UK

    We understand that every community has its reasons why physical activity isn’t part of their day-to-day. We want to support the black community in making that change and support the wider sector in understanding their needs.

The Project Includes:

Weekly Sessions

Every week for 12 weeks you will have a 45 minute virtual session to support you in making physical activity apart of your every day.

Signposting

There is no one size fits all when it comes to activity and we know that! We work with you to find activities that you enjoy, are close to you, and suit your lifestyle.

Extra support

Sometimes it is more than just changing the behavior. You might need support with your food intake, a fitness plan or further health support. We have a network r other black or cultural competent professionals to support all areas of your physical activity journey.

Community

You will be a part of our online & offline community. We believe ‘it takes a community’ so we want to give you that. Alongside your 12 weeks you can join our community group which gives you access to events, talks and further ways to keep physically active.
