Community Games creates opportunities for children and young people to develop active, healthy lives through a wide range of sporting and cultural activities in their local area.

This initiative addresses the need for accessible youth activities that promote physical health, social connection, and community spirit. It's designed for children aged 6-16 and implemented by dedicated volunteers who want to make a positive impact in their communities.

The programme involves organising local events across various sports and arts disciplines, with participants progressing from area competitions to county level and potentially the annual national festival. Activities emphasise fun, friendship, and personal development rather than just winning.

Communities benefit from increased youth engagement, stronger social bonds, and healthier lifestyles for young people. The initiative builds lasting connections between families and creates a supportive network of volunteers working together for children's wellbeing.

As a Community Games organiser, you'll receive comprehensive support including training materials, administrative guidance, child protection policies, and access to a national network of experienced volunteers ready to share their expertise.
