Newham Council is helping our young people to take part in sport and become more physically active through Newham’s Every Child a Sports Person programme. In partnership with activeNewham and the University of East , we will enable every Year 7 pupil in a Newham to access over 20 exciting sports that are not usually delivered as part of the curriculum in schools.

Newham’s Every Child a Sports Person (NECaSP) is part of the council’s wider commitment to building community resilience and ensuring young people in the borough have the same opportunities as children in more affluent areas. I am delighted that Newham’s Every Child programme is able to build on the hugely impressive work carried out by our schools and provides additional ways for our young people to engage with local sports clubs and activeNewham programmes.

Wherever you live in Newham, we are bringing together the very best that is on offer locally in our leisure centres, parks and sports facilities to help young people to get up, get out and get active. By working in partnership with local sports clubs in Newham and supporting local activities, our sports programmes are fully accessible and provide community activities that bring our residents together.

The introductory NECaSP sessions and the information in this booklet will help you to discover the right sport for you. activeNewham and borough clubs have qualified and committed staff who are able to provide you with all the support and guidance that you need.

Building on the “Inspire a Generation” theme from the 2012 London Games, I strongly believe that sport can inspire young people to live a healthy, more active way of life that will help them achieve their potential.
