20 young people from ethnic minority backgrounds learnt about health, fitness and general well being. They wrote, produced and filmed 'adverts' to promote healthy living, including topics such as; stop smoking, diabetes, asthma, obesity, healthy living and bully. This took place during a 3-day residential in Hinehead, Guildford.  The programme incorporated various different activities including challenge courses, trapeze, zip wire, abseiling amongst others. A DVD of the residential was produced incorporating the adverts made by the young people and distributed as a health awareness resource amongst the community.

The programme was designed to introduce young people to a whole host of new experiences that they may never otherwise have the chance to participate in. It was tailor-made to provide an excellent platform for personal and social development and a chance to develop skills which can often remain hidden. The project:

• Increased knowledge of health issues and disseminated that information into the community.
• Developed a positive attitude to physical activity in order to promote a healthy lifestyle.
• Developed self-respect and self-discipline.
• Raised self-esteem and self-confidence.
• Helped address disaffection.
• Participants developed the ability to care for and accept the support of others and make satisfying relationships.
• Taught tolerance and respect for other people.
