Fund Raising for Schools and Clubs

PJ Sports was established by sports professionals with many years’ experience of working with children in schools and youth groups. (See our ‘About Us’ page for details of individual staff members.) As a result, we understand the requirements of educational institutions and can demonstrate all the necessary approvals, insurance and competence to deliver our services safely, responsibly and in full accordance with the law.

• We work within the National Curriculum.
• We work with local schools in the north west area.
• We work with the PE departments in these schools.
• We help school children to improve levels of co-ordination, balance, endurance and speed.

All of our coaches are accredited with the relevant national sporting bodies. We have coaches working with Manchester United Development Centre and all of our coaches are CRB checked. They are also all qualified First Aiders.

We also work closely with our sister company, the UK Multi Sports Academy, which works with schools across the North West, to introduce fundamental skills and Long Term Athlete Development (LTAD) to Key Stages 1,2,3 and 4 in sport.

Values:

PJ Sports was established on the principle that success breeds confidence, and we strive to ensure that every child, whatever their level of ability, feels a sense of real achievement through participation in our activities. By combining the challenges of fund raising and sporting performance, we provide an environment in which everyone has the opportunity to make a positive contribution. Out of this come many benefits, including:

• Higher self-esteem
• Less susceptibility to stress and depression
• More exercise
• Better concentration and behaviour
• A sense of team spirit and belonging

Fundraising Potential:

The level of funds that can be raised through our sports activities depends upon pupil numbers, but we have found that sums of between £10 and £15 per pupil are perfectly achievable. All costs of promotional material, equipment and sponsorship documents are born by ourselves. The proceeds of the activity are divided equally between the school and PJ Sports & Leisure.
