  • Where we work
  1. About us

Where we work

Our office and classroom is based in the heart of Bath, at the Rec Sports Hub.

Situated looking out across the Rec outfield and beneath the GLL Bath Sports and Leisure centre we are lucky to have amazing facilities literally on our doorstep.

While Bath has a reputation for affluence, we know that there are areas of the city that are suffering. Child poverty affects one in five children in this city, a figure that rises to one in three in some wards.

However, issues surrounding child poverty and the impact it has on health, education and the chances of future success are not restricted to the city boundaries – and neither are we.

As the list below shows, our programmes run throughout Bath & North East Somerset, Wiltshire and Somerset.

Employability and skills development programmes

  • Hitz Learning Academy – Operates from the Rec Sports Hub / The Rec / GLL Bath Facilities
  • Hitz on Track - A mobile project that can be delivered in any BANES or Wiltshire Secondary School / Alternative provision site or local youth service group – If you are a school or site wanting the HITZ On Track project please get in touch with Joe Aygul.

Family and community programmes

  • Lifestyle Change Project - Keynsham and St Andrew's Church, Foxhill 
  • Eat Active – Combe Down RFC during the summer school holiday
  • Fun and Fit Club – Fosseway School, Radstock and Three Ways School, Bath
  • Street Active – TBC

Project Rugby

  • Project Rugby is being delivered at the following schools - St Marks School, Bath (working with 6 groups) / Fosseway School, Radstock (working with two groups) / St Gregory’s School, Bath (after school club mix girls and boys) / Bath College (based at the rec and working with 3 LILS groups plus one Step-Up group) / The Mendip School, Shepton Mallet (working with two groups) / Oldfield School, Bath (after school club) / Beechen Cliff School, Bath (early morning group) / Three Ways School (working with one group) / Ralph Allen School, Bath (after school club for girls) / Hayesfield School, Bath (after school club)
  • Where are the hubs - During term 1 our first hub has been set up at the Rec. During term 2 hubs will be created at Midsomer Norton RFC (specific for female players) and at Mulberry Park in Bath.

Disability programmes

  • Hi5! Sports Club – The club is held at the GLL facilities in Bath Sports and Leisure Centre and, during the Summer months, at Odd Down Sports Ground.
  • Hi5! In The Community - Three Ways School, Bath / Monday and Wednesday lunchtime (primary 30 minutes and secondary 30 minutes)

  • Raising The Games Primary – Olfield Park Junior School, St Martin's Garden Primary
