Listening to Local Children: Engagement Sessions in Great Yarmouth 🏫

As part of our Sport England Place Partnerships work, we spoke to 500+ primary school children (Years 3–6) across four local schools and reviewed 289 amazing drawings to understand what helps them be active.

💬 You said you wanted:
• Outdoor activities in local parks & green spaces
• Lots of different sports & games – running, climbing, ball games & more
• Low-cost, accessible sessions you can drop in and out of
• Fun, child-led activities with friends and family

✅ How we’re responding:
We’re working with Premier Education - Norfolk & North Suffolk to deliver free weekly outdoor multi-activity sessions as part of our Active Parks programme every Saturday. These sessions give children and families space, equipment, and ideas to play, try new games, and have fun together.

For more information on ‘Active Parks’, check out our pinned post! 🌳
