Sport4Life UK service goes mobile
S4L has launched its mobile sports and exercise centre initiative – a project aiming to provide every deprived community and demographic in Birmingham with the opportunity to access free, fun, and friendly sport and exercise. The initiative will be based around a custom minibus, fully equipped with sports kit and manned by qualified, experienced and enthusiastic coaches, which can travel throughout Birmingham in a flexible, mobile manner delivering sports and exercise programmes in local parks and community venues. Each minibus will run 4 key activities – diversionary youth sport, school sport, community exercise, and corporate sport – and is now open to bookings from the third sector, the public sector and the private sector.

S4L has been named as one of three regional winners of the Premier League initiative ‘Places For Players’, and will receive a donation of £2,000 and a player appearance from Aston Villa Football Club. Both will be used to promote and develop S4L’s ongoing youth sports work in the Chamberlain Gardens Estate of Ladywood, and to help launch the new Barclays Spaces For Sport multi-use games area (MUGA) on the estate.
