Unity Gym Project

Unity Gym Project is a registered charity established in the inner city ward of Broomhall in Sheffield in 2010. We are committed to community development and the promotion of health and wellbeing.

The charity offers vital support and opportunity to young people and the community from Broomhall and further afield in Sheffield. In this respect Unity Gym is a fundamental part of the fabric of Broomhall and a crucially important organisation

Before Unity Gym Project I had a set group of friends, our day to day activities didn’t include sport, Unity Gym has allowed me to make new friends and a healthier lifestyle which has improved my physical and mental wellbeing, which I am very grateful for. This has been crucial for my education and allowed me to be more perceptive to opportunities in everyday life. I have also been able to volunteer by assisting youth clubs sessions for other local young people.

Unity Gym Project has played a major role in me becoming a much more active person, also it has gave me the opportunity to meet many new people and develop my skills with others. Unity Gym hasn’t only played a big part in me being a more active person but it has also helped me deal with my anxiety, improve my confidence and social skills.

I was an active kid with no activities to exert that energy, my attention wasn’t good which led me to find school difficult, Unity Gym introduced me to basketball through Street Games CLUB1 event. I had the opportunity to attend to watch Sheffield Sharks Vs Giants now a year later I am taking part in sport and playing for local basketball team. It has also given me an opportunity to attend Street Games sports festivals / residential where I made new friends.
