02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Firhill Youth Project and Community Sports Hub is set up to provide a range of accessible, affordable and sustainable opportunities for local young people to participate, coach or volunteer in rowing, kayaking and other physical activity. We do this by offering a range of sessions free of charge to both a core group of regular participants and by working with partner organisations to deliver individual sessions or short term projects tailored to their needs. The project runs April - October due to the outdoor nature of our activities and during this time we employ a lead coach, in addition to part time sessional coaches who run the activities. The operational staff are supported by a volunteer board of trustees who oversee the strategic and governance of the charity.
