Free over 18's 'Parkour' taster sessions
Parkour is a physical training discipline that allows people to overcome any obstacle within their path, by adapting their body movements to fit with their surroundings.

It is a non-competitive, physical discipline of French origin in which participants run along a route, attempting to negotiate obstacles in the most efficient way possible. Skills involve jumping and climbing as well as other bespoke parkour manovers.

The object of parkour is to get from one place to another using only the human body and objects such as railings, steps and walls as aids to assist their movement and travel.

Parkour is often seen practiced in urban areas because of the diverse environment public structures provide.  

If you would like to take part in a FREE parkour workshop, then contact Emma Greenough on 01273 852304 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it to reserve your place.

The BMEYPP is committed to building the capacity of the local BME communities to develop activities  and  projects.  We  are  looking  for young  people  aged  16  to  25  who  like  sports and  can  be  positive  role  models  for  other young  people  in  their  communities,  and  can help  us  to  develop  our  sports  projects  in  the future.

The BMEYPP is running a Level One FA Football coaching certificate course in June. This is the first step to getting paid to be a Football coach because if you complete level one and two you will have the opportunity to get paid work as a football coach.
The  course  is  taking  place  on  Monday  8th  to Friday 12th  June 10am  to  4pm  and  will  be taught by a coach from Brighton and Hove Albion Football Club.

When you have completed the course you will then  have  the  opportunity  to  put  your  new skills into practice as you and another trainee coach a local football team of young people,  who  will  then  take  part  in  a BMEYPP Unity in Football Tournament.

As well as your Level One Certificates you will  receive  a  Brighton  and  Hove  Youth Award  and  will  have  the  opportunity  to work  towards  other  certificates.  If  you would like to apply to take part in this pro-ject, please  Contact Vannessa

New Youth Action Team campaign to transform the face of volunteering among young people

Leading charity, Brighton and Hove Volunteers, are calling for local young people aged between 16 and 25 to join a new group that champions volunteering to its peers.

Drawn from all walks of life and acting as ambassadors, Youth Action Team members encourage their peers to volunteer, and advise organisations on youth led community action. The Youth Action Team organise local events aimed to highlight the many benefits of volunteering, including gaining new skills, contributing to the community and increasing employability. Volunteering within the Youth Action Team include activities such as marketing, design, fundraising and events organisation.
