The pandemic has seen an increase of young people affected by mental health. We have also seen an increase in young people becoming inactive and this is a major concern for us at Speedkix. This summer we have provided activities and workshops through our not for profit organisation SIVIK Active CIC,  to help people re-engage with their friends and the local communities. This was made possible by a grant award from the Two Ridings foundation.  We have also worked with City of York Council to provide a programme of events as part of the Holiday Activity Fund, for children on free school meals.

We have also seen an increase in workplaces who value the well-being of staff and are looking for some fun teambuilding events and staff socials. We are also supporting schools and other educational establishments to provide rewards for pupils and already have bookings for summer 2022.

We are looking forward to working collaboratively with other organisations to provide a safe, fun environment to help people flourish after such a difficult time. It was great to see some of the young people on the BBC national news showing great confidence in discussing some of the issues they face.
