Active Fusion
Active Fusion are a charity based in Doncaster striving to enable children and young people in Yorkshire to be physically active.
Young people in Doncaster and across the UK are facing diminishing levels of mental and physical health. Exercise is proven to enhance fitness levels and improve mental health, however, young people in our region are not achieving the recommended amount of daily physical activity.
We’re striving to buck this trend by delivering high quality Physical Education lessons in schools, by training teachers and school staff to become more confident and proficient in their teaching of Physical Education, through holiday sports camps and by giving young people the opportunity to enhance their qualifications, confidence and communication through sports leadership and apprenticeship opportunities.
Our mission is to create art with people in Doncaster to improve life, learning and health. Our home, The Point, is a friendly and welcoming place which is open to all and is where we make and share art. We carry this ethos to all our creative workshops across Doncaster.
