Kids Zone Clubs launched in Ireland
A new physical activity programme for youth not taking part in mainstream sports has been introduced in Derry, Northern Ireland, to improve the health and wellbeing of young people in the area.
Called Kids Zone, the weekly club is the result of a joint venture between the Old Library Trust Healthy Living Centre and Derry City Council. The programme will be held at the new Bishop's Field Sports Hall, which was funded by the Big Lottery Fund's New Opportunities for PE and Sport Programme. Offerings will include classes in dance, yoga, gymnastics, cheerleading and judo.
Seamus Heaney, project director at the Old Library Trust Healthy Living Centre, said "The reality is that the children and young people growing up nowadays are more likely to suffer from health problems associated with poor and sedentary lifestyles. The Kids Zone clubs have been designed to help combat this. "The project is a fine example of partnership working between Derry City Council and the Old Library Trust and we look forward to many new opportunities to work together to improve the quality of life for people of all ages living in the Creggan, Bogside and Brandywell areas."
