(Greenhouse Sports ) aims to develop social, thinking, emotional and physical skills for young people in London’s communities through high quality, intensive sports programmes delivered by inspirational coaches. Greenhouse Sports (originally Greenhouse Schools Project and then later Greenhouse Charity) was founded in 2002 when Chief Executive and founder, Michael de Giorgio, set up a multisports pilot to give young people on a local housing estate something positive to do in the school holidays. In 2004 the organisation then moved their programmes full-time into schools. By working full-time in schools and in the community the Greenhouse coaches develop strong relationships with their young people. Greenhouse help them to improve their health and fitness whilst mentoring them to improve their engagement with their education and community. Activities include football, swimming, table tennis, tennis, basketball, judo, volleyball and multisports. Greenhouse's multisports programme is aimed at young people with special educational needs (SEN) and is one of Greenhouse’s largest areas with 8 school-based programmes running across London. A team of Greenhouse coaches engage children with physical disabilities and special education offering familiar sports such as football, swimming, trampolining, athletics and dodgeball alongside rebound therapy and hydrotherapy. The organisation is proud to include amongst its coaches former Commonwealth champions and Olympians. The coaches are selected based on both their sports coaching and their ability to inspire young people. The coaching is offered to those young people who face the greatest challenge, regardless of ability. The organisation prides itself on being able to adapt its programme to suit everyone from the complete novice to the elite sporting star of the future. Greenhouse reaches 10,000 young people, of which over 40% receive free school meals and 40% are from single parent families. A Greenhouse programme will work primarily with children attending secondary school, but it does also work with 8-11 year olds in feeder primaries to help smooth their transition from primary to secondary education. Programmes are available to all young people attending the school in which it is present. However, the organisation also works with the school to identify the young people who would gain the most from attending the programme. The young person will then have an agreement drawn up between them and the school stipulating the conditions to which they must adhere if they want to continue attending the Greenhouse programme. 30.7% of young people on the programme last year were referred by their school for behavioural or attendance issues. The charity also runs an apprenticeship programme called Coach Core which is funded by The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The programme provides intense coaching and mentoring for 16- to 24-year-olds, many from disadvantaged backgrounds, to become qualified, inspirational coaches.
