Sport for Social Change

If you live in the Jackmans area of Letchworth, we’re bringing you new opportunities to take part in physical activity thanks to an innovative partnership between the council, Herts Sport Partnership and Active in the Community - a notfor-profit organisation that provides community activities on behalf of Local Authorities.

We are excited to announce that Forever Cycling, a brand new initiative for over 50s, has launched in Letchworth, providing users with a virtual cycling experience around some of the world’s most iconic locations.

The project has run for a year in Hertfordshire with great success, helping to increase physical activity levels and combat social isolation and loneliness.

Classes are £2 a session and run at the Jackmans Community Centre every Friday from 2-3pm. Spaces can be booked by emailing Joshua.hardy@aitc.org.uk or call 07496 829283

Each session will include two routes with a coffee and cake break in between. All equipment will be provided.

Active local is a scheme designed to tackle inequalities and reduce inactivity in areas with the most deprivation across Hertfordshire. Active Local areas will benefit from a brand new Opportunities Fund that provides funding to support children and young people from the Jackmans area to participate in sport at local clubs. Applications need to be made by the sports clubs and can support young people with up to £200 towards membership fees, clothing or equipment. Keep an eye out on our social channels for more information.
