Sheffield park rangers
The Pitch
Problem statement
Sheffield park rangers is a football club based in North of Sheffield which operates in a very derpreived area of Sheffield. We have two teams that play in the local Saturday and Sunday leagues. Both teams are competing in leagues that are very comepeptive. Our goals and aims are to get adults on the area playing football and sport and get them engaged in meaningful activity. Our motivation behind this is to mental health and well being of all our athletes. Alot of our of players have struggled through one of the worse pandemics. Our goal is to help these players get back into sport. Higher rates of obesity, mortality and suicide in young men. Our main goal is to stop this. Through sport.
Solution
Our main goal of the project is to get adults back into sport. Men are going through alot of problems. Mental health and mainly suicide within our area. We have a fully trained mental health worker and who one of our coaches within the club. This attracts players to our club aswell on the pitch we meet with our athletes to help with there problems of the pitch aswell. The funding will help to get training pitches in the area for the players to get the training costs, playing costs and the correct equipment that we need to help us deliver these sessions. This will have a massive impact with the area of parson Cross and foxhill were there are not many opportunities for players to get help.
Why are we best placed to deliver?
The area we're the project will be delivered will be in the North of Sheffield areas of parson Cross, foxhill and shiregreen. All these areas have very low income and all our athletes are currently going through alot of problems. We have through our coaches. 3 uefa licensed coaches, 2 fully qualified mental health workers.

Expected impact
The Impact of the project will meet so many players that are needing help in the North of Sheffield that don't get the help they need. Our players have all had problems with mental health, suicide and other areas that we want to help them with. We have fully trained mental health workers, fully qualified sport coaches. The areas of North Sheffield are some of the most deprived areas of England. We want to bring sporting opportunities to get our players to help Lower the costs that they are currently having to pay and cannot afford to pay this will then help them to stop working about costs that they cannot meet. This will then help them with simple things to help them with there mental health issues. After the project finish our main goal is to help sporting athletes in the area they can feel welcome to come and play sport Instead of working about can I afford to play, what going to happen etc.
Track record
Within the last the years. I have managed to help set up a few projects within other areas of Sheffield that have had very successfully been great. Two junior clubs that have helped within the same area gey young adults of the streets and into sport and helped lower crime in the area. Another club that was set up in 2004 colley boys fc became a very successful club in helping getting young adolescents of the streets of Sheffield and back into sport. Both clubs still running very successfully today in helping in getting both young adults and young adolescents of the streets of North Sheffield and playing the game they love to play. My next goal is to help and get adults within the area into the sport they love were they have problems themselves and get them motivated into playing sport once again.
