Physical activity, play and public health

We are huge believers in the ‘Right To Play’ campaign, and carry this through providing children and young people with a variety of free opportunities across a diverse range of sports and activities. Whether it be through football, basketball, boxing or even inflatable family fun, there is always something for children and young people to get involved within our communities!  

Building Bridges and Breaking Barriers

A key aim of programmes is to remove all barriers to access and build relationships through participation. Across our projects, we aim to provide our children with a fun outlet, whilst building lasting friendships. As they transition to young people and young adults, we will continue to provide and support them through further suitable activities. We integrate sport and play opportunities into a wide range of our projects, encouraging young people to make active choices and take control of their own physical well being. Whether it’s coaching courses, pick up and play sport activities or five-a-side tournaments, children and young people can get active and play in safe and supported environments, make new friends and gain new skills.

Breaking down barriers is ironically our most constructive aspect of physical activity!

More than a game…

At Powered by CAN we understand how powerful play and physical activity can be. Whilst improving physical well-being is a key part of our physical services, it is not the only focus!

We want all of our sessions to provide a safe space for all within the community to come through and enjoy, escape and express themselves.

Our experienced play workers run sessions across Sandwell all year round, and we support Black Country Communities to create opportunities with their children, listening to their needs and changing their local landscapes for better, safer, more inclusive play and physical activity.
