Staying active is important at every stage of life, and keeping fit with those you love is a great way to make it more fun for everyone. 95% of the population of Edmonton isn’t active enough, and more than two out of five Year 6 Pupils are obese or overweight, well above the national average. We need more exercise, but it isn’t always easy to make the time to do it. 

Thanks to funding we’ve obtained through Sport England we have been able to provide free swimming and Zumba classes for families across the borough. Every Friday, children and families are escorted by staff from school to a local leisure centre, where they learn and enjoy physical activities. Some of our parents and children are unable to swim, and so through this weekly project they’ve gained new skills, as well as new friends.
