SportInspired work with businesses, councils, schools and sports clubs in every Games Programme to ensure that primary school children are exposed to a variety of new sports, fall in love with a new sport and solidify in their mind what the true meaning behind participating in sport is. The Black Arrows badminton club has been a consistent and treasured partner of ours over the past few years in the Hackney and Islington areas. Of the festivals we’ve run with Black Arrows, hundreds of kids have tried badminton, maybe even for the first time, and left knowing they want to play it again thanks to the inspirational effect Black Arrows has had on them. As a result of this hard work and inspiration we’ve recently seen two new badminton clubs set up in primary schools in the Islington area — Sacred Heart Catholic and Clerkenwell Primary Schools – so the kids can continue playing the sport they love. With results like that from people like these, it’s no wonder our relationship is so strong and we thank Black Arrows, because we could not achieve what we do at SportInspired without the outstanding dedication of community clubs like this.
