Welcome to the re-launch of the Sport Birmingham Education Newsletter!
We’re excited to introduce this newsletter and launch our new Education Hub on our website as a space to celebrate, connect and inspire. Across Birmingham, schools and communities are doing fantastic work to engage young people in sport, physical activity and wellbeing and we think it’s time those stories were shared more widely.
Each edition will highlight new opportunities available across the city, showcase good news stories, and share examples of best practice that can help strengthen connections between schools and their local communities.
There are lots of brilliant initiatives already happening, and by coming together we can learn from one another, spark new ideas and make an even greater impact for children and young people.
If your school has a story, achievement or project you’d like to share, we’d love to hear from you. Please get in touch at schools@sportbirmingham.org - your experiences could inspire others across the city.
Together, let’s celebrate what’s happening in Birmingham and continue building healthier, happier, and more active school communities. |
