The Galleria sponsors the Hatfield Community Games

SportInspired’s mission is to help young, disadvantaged people, by bringing communities together through the power of sport. The aim is not only to build activity levels, but also to develop confidence and life skills through giving children exposure to older role models and providing the opportunity to try new and different activities.

SportInspired teamed up with the Land Securities, Ocado, the University of Hertfordshire, and the Mayor of Welwyn Hatfield, to run the Hatfield Games 2016. The programme centred on a multi-sport festival on Tuesday 22nd March at Hertfordshire Sports Village.

On the day, over 200 primary school children from local schools were welcomed by business volunteers, students, sports coaches, ‘young leaders’ from a local secondary school and the SportInspired team inspired, motivated and engaged the young people to help them develop skills, and to get them to know their communities and find a sport they’ll love.

The management staff from the galleria volunteered on the day along with staff from Cadbury’s and Nike who helped make the day run smoothly. It was a fun day for everyone involved and lots of children were keen to sign up to the sports clubs involved. Shining Stars will be awarded to Cadbury’s and Nike for their involvement and a very big thank you to all that took part.
