Active Communities

The programme provides tailored physical activity and sports coaching to various community based summer schemes, working out of community centres, church halls, parks and leisure centres. Through ongoing community demand for sustainable physical activity programmes, we have developed the SMST into a year long active lifestyle programme; targeting the 7-13 age group (boys and girls) and providing 6 weeks of particular sports, culminating in Fair Play Festivals involving particular Governing Bodies of Sport and other partner agencies, such as, Belfast Health and Social Services Trust.

The programmes continue to highlight the benefits of physical activity, particular sports and healthy eating.The Summer Mobile Sports Team and Active Communities Programme are delivered by coaches and leaders through sportopps.com (our social economy business – www.sportopps.com) and co-ordinated by local Community Sports Development Officers.
