Working with young sports leaders to deliver community sports days for primary school children in their local area.
The project in numbers
Asda Active Sports Leaders recruited over 160 local sports leaders volunteers, young people working towards a qualification in sport, dance, volunteering and leadership, to deliver community sports days for primary school children in their local area.

The partnership with Sports Leaders UK, ukactive and Spirit of 2012, aimed to significantly increase the number of young people that took part in physical activity and volunteering throughout the UK.
