HYPE have been active in providing free multi-sports sessions for keyworker/vulnerable children in schools. In the current climate of reduced staff, fluctuating class sizes and general confusion for many children, we felt it was important to provide a free service to engage and enthuse the children in school through activity and sports. The sole focus of these school sessions was full participation from all children and extended activity at a high intensity to get the heart-rate up providing a fitness element.

We knew this was going to be a very testing time for families and we were determined to continue to engage young people, offer free and accessible football/fitness sessions and ultimately encourage physical activity.

The Be Brave Competition was aimed at children aged between 3-11 during the January to March 2021 lockdown.
The programme was six-weeks long and encouraged children to explore crafts and activity, with each week having a different theme, ranging from ocean week to exercise week. Entries were submitted online and winners/prizes announced every Friday! HYPE are very proud to have been involved with this initiative and were happy to provide the prizes!
