Scottish Archery ran a soft archery session with a charity which supports asylum seekers, refugees, migrant workers, and black and minority ethnic people.
Euan Murray and Robert Clark from Scottish Archery attended the event, organised by the Central and West Integration Network (CWIN). The charity promotes integration across Glasgow's City Centre and West End, throughout the city and beyond.
Euan and Robert ran a soft archery taster session as part of the CWIN Summer Holiday Activity Programme at St Aloysius' College in the centre of Glasgow. The college is in the Garnethill area, next to the internationally recognised Glasgow School of Art.
The programme aims to provide opportunities and activities to enhance physical and mental health and wellbeing as well as supporting food security, participation and integration.
Euan said: "We had around 25 participants and they enjoyed archery as it was their first time taking part in it and it was great to see so many families getting involved."
Iffat Bhatti, CWIN’s Holiday Programme Coordinator, said: "It was great to see everyone really enjoy their first time doing archery, a fantastic way to introduce the sport. It was valuable to bring activity to us so we can experience it as we probably wouldn’t have had a chance otherwise. We are fortunate we could use the multi-use games area to deliver the archery. The kids had a brilliant time, and it was great to see parents get involved too, a nice way to get the family together."
Scottish Archery are looking forward to working with CWIN in the future. You can find out more about the charity by clicking here.
