Charitable Aims
The College of Chinese Physical Culture is a nationwide organisation that seeks to stimulate, invigorate and energise mind and body by offering a range of classes.
Supported by The Big Give Project and the V-project, the College has recently embarked on charitable campaigns to spread the popularity of Wushu to newer, wider audiences as part of their Essential Energy initiative.
This targeted the involvement of underprivileged people in inner-city areas, offering a wide range of volunteering opportunities with an end aim of gaining a national [http://www.ukyouth.org/whatwedo/Programmes/YAA/#YAA2 Gold Youth Achievement Award], developing a portfolio of work for future jobs, plus a national vocation in non-competitive Chinese movement and dance.
