Celebrating Commonwealth Communities and Sport
Impact Fitness Academy is a sports led organisation rooted in the heart of Birmingham’s inner city areas, with BAME leadership team, with lived experiences of growing up in ghetto areas. We have established links with local BAME communities, to successfully deliver programmes to engage most disadvantaged communities. Those from commonwealth heritage, yet are under-represented in terms of Commonwealth 2022 celebrations. Two fold plans celebrating Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games:
RISE Programme: Free Wrestling sessions, a staged approach to engaging children and young people (aged 5-17) from ‘getting active’ (engagement); to ‘remain active’ (progression); to reach potential (sports legacy).
Annual Wrestling tournament; A cultural event to celebrate sports, diversity, inclusion and contribute to Birmingham’s commonwealth celebrations. Celebrating cultural heritage of commonwealth countries through sports, food, dress, music. Delivered in partnership with local communities living in deprived areas of Birmingham.
