Sport NI – Every Body Active 2020

Every Body Active 2020 is a Sport Northern Ireland initiative which aims to increase participation in sport and physical activity within specific groups of people. These include women and girls, people with a disability, those living in areas of greatest social need, young people leaving education and those retiring from work.

Over the next number of years, we will be working closely with clubs, schools, and community organisations to engage with these hardest to reach groups to open doors of opportunity.

We currently have 8 Active Communities Multi Sports Coaches who specialise in a range of sports and physical activities. They will work with your organisation to come up with a programme that is appropriate for your participants.

The Active Communities Coaches are employed by Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council, fully qualified and experienced in the delivery of sport and physical activity. The Coaches will discuss your needs, establish a suitable venue and explain our monitoring requirements in regard to participants.
