Unsupported - Bin bag sleeps.

I am doing this because i’ve always fancied it if i am honest, and because it’ll make me feel good (afterwards) …but along the way i’ll be raising money to support the brilliant work carried out by the fmgproject.co.uk

WHAT IS THE FMG PROJECT?

I have alway admired charities that have a prevention over cure outlook on the world , Our very own FMG project subscribes to this philosophy.....

FMG Project provides opportunities for local young people to learn, grow and achieve through fitness-based coaching programmes, in our state-of-the-art gym facility. We use sport and exercise as our vehicle to create a positive impact!

The project aims to:

Give access to coaching, education and facilities to those that might not otherwise have the opportunity.

Provide pathways to achieve excellence in sport through links to local clubs.

Give an opportunity for young people to learn how to coach, bettering their future prospects.

Create motivation and a positive attitude.

Teach young people to channel their energy positively.

Help people to develop a healthier lifestyle.

Teach life skills such as commitment, communication and leadership.

We also provide a regular running club and strength and conditioning classes to the public via our sister community project Run The Lanes.

The project is already leaving a positive legacy on the next generation of Brightonians, which is great for the our community.
