London Sport are committed to ensuring that young people have the best opportunity to form a positive physical activity habit for life.
Helping young people to live active lives is critical to creating a happier, healthier and more prosperous London.
That’s why we work with schools, colleges, policymakers, local authorities, teachers and anyone else supporting young people; our role is to advise, inform and create positive change.
Our work with Children and Young People (aged 0-25) focuses on two keys areas:
We want to help improve the in-school physical activity experience for all, whether that is early years education, primary schools or secondary schools and colleges.
Outside schools, we want to use asset-based community development (ABCD) principles to expand the relevance and engagement of local provision in specified locations, creating and using replicable good practice.
