Ross County F.C. intend to utilise the funding from the SFP Community Initiative to create a new project (County’s Climate Challenge Project) to target P4 to P6 children throughout 14 primary schools in the Highlands. The programme is based on climate change and aims to raise awareness of the impact this has on the environment. The emphasis will be on learning within an educational and physical sense, through having controlled fun with their school friends within the protection of the school environment. The curriculum will cover the important areas of physical literacy, ball mastery, social skills, fun games, fair play and sportsmanship. The club hope to target in excess of 7,500 pupils over 252 sessions, with each activity period lasting 45 minutes, followed by 20 minutes of theory work. Steven Ferguson, Head of Youth & Community at Ross County F.C. said “The club hope that this project will have a lasting effect on the children by educating them on the values associated with taking care of the environment and the effect of climate change. The physical engagement aspect of the project will see increased activity for these young children which will hopefully encourage them to lead a more active and healthier lifestyle as they grow into adulthood.”
