Ten young women from Eastham Youth Club wanted to look at health and fitness issues for their project.

A qualified fitness instructor was invited to the club and the group completed a fitness test and were given an individual training programme and took part in aerobic and box-a-cise sessions and circuit training.

Six the girls participated in a sponsored 5km Race for Life for Cancer Research in Knowsley Park, the girls were so enthusiastic and excited that they did not mind the heavy rain and extremely windy weather.

The girls discussed issues about healthy eating and a balanced diet and cooked a three course healthy meal for the staff and peers at the youthy.

They designed placemats, name cards and menus and went shopping for decorations and accessories to transform their youth club into an Italian restaurant. It was a great success and the food was delicious!!!

To end the project the group have produced an A to Z guide, the booklet contains simple and easy ideas and workshops that will encourage young people and the youth centres to be more aware to being healthier and fitter for the future.

Six girls passed their Food Hygiene Certificate and completed their Bronze Youth Achievement Award.
