About CHAM CIC
We use movement for good.
Confident Healthy Active Me is a Community Interest Company helping children, families and communities build confidence and improve wellbeing through movement.
Why we exist
Childhood has changed. Movement still matters.
Technology is now part of everyday childhood. It brings opportunities, but it can also mean more time sitting, more time on screens and fewer natural opportunities simply to get up, play and move.
We believe movement should be something children enjoy, not something they feel they have to be good at. It can create connection, build confidence, support wellbeing and give children opportunities to experience success.
That belief is why CHAM exists.
What we do
Movement for good, in lots of different ways.
We don't believe there is one single way to get people moving. We create programmes around the needs of the children, families, schools and communities we work with.
Helping children enjoy movement
Through holiday clubs, sport, play and active experiences, we give children opportunities to move without the pressure that can sometimes come with traditional competitive sport.
Building confidence and wellbeing
Movement is our starting point, but confidence, connection and wellbeing are at the heart of what we want children and families to take away.
Reaching people where they are
We work in schools, early years settings, holiday clubs and community projects so that enjoyable movement is accessible in the places people already know and trust.
Our ethos
It's about more than simply being active.
We want people to associate movement with enjoyment, belonging and achievement. That means creating environments where children can join in at their own level, try something new and feel successful.
Whether we are working with one child or hundreds of pupils, the principle remains the same: movement should leave people feeling better than when they started.
