Sports Partnership

Active Lifestyles Trailblazers Project
The Cumberland School Sport Partnership has been selected by the Youth Sport Trust to pilot a project linked to tackling obesity with reception year children, in view of the Borough’s high childhood obesity levels. 10 of the Partnership’s primary schools are involved with the project. The project is funded by the DCSF as part of its commitment to the national obesity strategy and it supports schools to think differently about how they offer physical activity opportunities to young people. On Thursday 4th March I was invited to meet the Minister of State for Children – Dawn Primarolo and observe the project in action.
