Community Sports Network

About

Based in Belfast, Community Sports Network is a sports organisation running health and fitness projects across Northern Ireland. Its programmes span primary school sport and leadership, youth mentoring, outdoor activity and sessions for older people, including armchair aerobics and boccia. The organisation uses sport for development, aiming to make participation welcoming and accessible regardless of background or ability.

Community sports organisations like this generally focus on getting people active who might not join a traditional club. Projects of this kind often work through schools, community groups and local partners, with an emphasis on inclusion, wellbeing and building connections between people of different ages and backgrounds.
