Home > Children and Young People
Our aim is to help young people in both community and education settings to get more active, with a specific focus on tackling inequalities and any imbalance of opportunities.
Active Sussex supports primary schools across the county to put PE, school sport and physical activity at the heart of school life.
Our funding will help grow the number of 5-19 year olds taking part in sport across Sussex and create opportunities for young people to create lifelong active habits.
The Active Lives Children and Young People Survey asks children between five and 16 years old about how much physical activity they take part in, both in and out of school.
By listening to children and young people and embracing youth voice we are allowing them to have a say in shaping sport and physical activity.
The Parallel Youth Games is a ‘mini-Paralympics’, showcasing and celebrating disability sport in Sussex.
The School Games programme seeks to provide innovative and exciting opportunities for young people to get involved with sport and competition.
Andy is the Strategic lead for all Children & Young People focussed work. He works with schools, clubs, coaches, and physical activity providers to increase opportunities for young people to get more active.
