CYP Now - #Chances4Children: Call for sport to bring children together

After a year in which children's ability to participate in sport and physical activity has been severely curtailed due to the pandemic, the Youth Sport Trust is urging schools, community groups and youth organisations to get involved in its National School Sport Week campaign.

Youth Sport Trust is offering resources to schools with tips on staging sports days

In 2020, most school sport days were cancelled as were most youth-based sport competitions and activities because of restrictions imposed as a result of Covid-19. In recognition of this, the theme for the trust's campaign this year is “Together Again”. It wants to encourage as many schools, families and communities as possible to pledge to holding a Together Again sports day between 19 and 25 June.

Since young people returned to school, the Youth Sport Trust has been working with other sports organisations to help promote an active recovery – harnessing the power of sport and play to help young people to reconnect and recover. This year, National School Sport Week is partnering with the Together campaign to bring the themes to life for young people through sport.
