Bees trust launches keep fit campaign
WITH the government having restricted all but essential movement across the UK, Brentford FC Community Sports Trust have launched a #BeeatHome campaign that encourages children and adults to stay active within their homes.
The trust aims to deliver educational and physical activity content to children and young people in the local area while simultaneously urging people to stay at home to help save lives.
To launch the campaign, Brentford’s lead female football coach, Amber Lloyd, delivered a Soccercise session to help young people stay active in their homes.
Speaking about young people staying active, Lloyd said: “It is massively important to stay active during these times, which will help with your concentration when learning.
“We have produced some videos that can be done on your own or with your family members, adding a bit of healthy competition.”
The trust will also be streaming live fitness, yoga and Pilates classes to local residents in Hounslow. Pilates sessions will be held on Tuesdays from 6pm.
Along with physical activity sessions, the trust will deliver engaging educational content, including weekly maths and English challenges.
Lee Doyle, chief executive of Brentford FC Community Sports Trust, said: “Our commitment to local communities remains steadfast. We will be innovative in how we can create a positive difference in the most challenging of times.
“We are working closely with local stakeholders to support those most in need while reiterating the government’s message of staying at home to save lives.”
With the trust already working with a number of vulnerable young people, online resources will be available to support young people’s wellbeing and mental health while in isolation. Visit the club’s website at www.brentfordfccst.com.
