As the days become longer and temperatures increase there is no better time to get outdoors and be active …
The Hunslet Initiative is relaunching two free weekly sports sessions for local children and teenagers in Hunslet and Belle Isle. The activities will give young people of all ages, abilities and experiences a chance to take part in fun sports activities in the heart of their community.
We are using public spaces within walking distance of local homes making them accessible as possible. There is no cost to take part. Please drop in any time and give it a go!
Activities will take place every Tuesday evening across two locations:
3:30-4:30pm Grove Road Field, Hunslet
(opposite the Penny Hill Centre on the field where Hunslet Gala is held)
4:45-5:45pm West Grange ‘Sporty Space’, Belle Isle
(between the corner of West Grange Road-Winrose Crescent and Jenkinson Place)
These activities will give youngsters a chance to get active, make new friends, improve their mental health and hopefully inspire ongoing sporting participants!
We will provide a wide range of sports, encouraging participants to develop their skills in sports they know but also experiment with trying new sports. Sports available throughout the summer will include football, rugby, basketball, netball, cricket, rounders, volleyball, tennis, badminton, skipping and athletics.
Who knows, perhaps we will discover a future sporting champion?
The activities in Belle Isle are made possible by the funding and support of BITMO. Thank you.
The Hunslet Initiative has over 15 years experience delivering a range of activities and events for children and young people across Hunslet and Belle Isle and are excited for this new project.
