HOW WE DO IT

Discover our projects

Promoting Children in Plymouth facilitates high impact long lasting projects that break the cycle of multi generational poverty in Plymouth. We focus on 3 key areas which help build self esteem, experience and life skills to help determine and improve a young person’s future.

A wealth of variety

Already we are making a difference through multiple targeted interventions, and the success we are striving for to eradicate child poverty in Plymouth comes from the collective contributions of all sectors, rather than any individual one.  Creating generational change will not take one voice or one charity but a range of voices and long term and sustained collaborative partnerships.

Our Projects

The Promoting Children in Plymouth 3 Pillars are:

Inspiration

The opportunities that children can be given to achieve their true potential which many other children take for granted, such as visiting the outdoors or just seeing beyond their immediate world.

Aspiration

To understand the life and employment opportunities which are open to all, assisting young people to establish goals to work towards and believing that they can achieve them, no matter what their background.

Education

The toolkit of life skills (such as language, experiences and knowledge of how to present yourself) which allow children to compete on a level playing field with others.

PCiP and StreetGames believe that sport and its benefits should be a right, not a privilege.
Intervention through to workplace opportunities.
Inspiring children to see past their current environment.

Where families prep together, cook together, eat together, clear up together and spend time together, and always have food to take home.
