Our Sports Team is helping local clubs and groups create more opportunities for young people to get active and make Coventry an even better place to live, work, and visit.
In our recent Your Voice Counts Survey, residents highlighted to us the importance of providing activities and community spaces for young people in Coventry. As a result, we wanted to highlight how our Sports Team has been working with organisations to unlock the potential of local facilities.
Earlier this year, the team helped Bell Green ABC (Amateur Boxing Club) to access a grant from the Heart of England Community Foundation. The club was awarded £5,000 and they used those funds to revamp the facilities which included purchasing a new ring and painting the building.
Thanks to this work, more young people have been able to enjoy the facilities and receive the benefits that the sport brings. Across the city, our Sports Team are working with local organisations, volunteer groups, and residents to promote physical activity and the benefits that it brings. It’s all part of our work to make Coventry a fantastic place to live, work and visit.
