Sportivate is a great initiative to encourage young people to engage in a range of activities. We’re really looking forward to running the new courses at Worcester Swimming Pool and hope to see many of the local youth residents taking part! We’ll also be running a scheme to encourage young mums to get active, which will begin in January next year.
