Decathlon teams up with Active Youth NI
Active Youth NI announces an exciting new partnership with Decathlon which will bolster their shared mission to change children’s lives through physical activity.
The world’s largest retailer, Decathlon, has partnered with local community organisation, Active Youth NI, to increase accessible opportunities for all children and young people to get active. Delivering innovative, non-sport specific sessions that are designed to improve physical, mental, and social wellbeing.
This exciting partnership kicks off February 24, at Decathlon, Holywood Exchange with the ‘Schools Challenge’ launch event, bringing together the community and schools together with a focus on activity, movement and FUN.
We are delighted to have won the ‘Best New Start-Up’ at the Northern Ireland Social Enterprise Awards 2023!
“My kids absolutely loved their week at Active Youth, and are already asking about going back in the next school holidays. The staff were all fantastic and were great with all the kids. The different themes and mix of activities meant there was always something to do, but there was also no pressure put on kids to do anything they weren’t comfortable with. Thank you all so much, we will definitely be back.”
Summer Camp Parent 2023
“We have 2 little girls, P2 and P4, and signed them up for the full 2 weeks which suited our childcare needs. Each day, the girls would come home excited to tell us about their day! Each coach is a credit to the camp, and made the girls feel comfortable and welcomed, and most importantly, excited for the following days activities. Already they have asked when the next camp will take place! Well done to the whole team, and congratulations on the success of the camp this summer. Could not recommend enough!”
