Healthy Living – Cumberland Youth Club

The Healthy Living Project increases young people’s awareness of healthy living choices, so they can live a healthy lifestyle and share their knowledge with family, friends, and the wider community.

We run a weekly healthy living drop-in sessions at our Cumberland Youth Club every Monday evening 5-7pm for young people aged 8-16 held at HPOD in Cumberland Market.

Young people participate in fun activities to connect and socialise such as game consoles, board games and peer support activities. They can take part in health-related workshops and take part in sessions on drug awareness, mental health issues, sexual health, cooking, and nutrition. As part of our sport and exercise programme, young people participate in a wide variety of sports such as badminton, table tennis, football and more. When possible, the young people gain AQA accrediations in their skills! We also go on trips during the holidays and have been to Laser quest and Global generation skip garden previously.

We are also supported by Kitchen Social during the holidays to ensure our young people have access to food when not at school. They have also helped us to fund exciting activities like our recent Skateboarding workshop!

We are always looking for new activities for our group – get in touch if you run boxing, football, multisports, gaming, creative or other activities!

Cumberland Youth Club is part of the Regents Park Community Champions programme to increase health and wellbeing .
