Everyone, of all ages, has the opportunity to start participating in physical activity

The first five years of life represent an opportune window to lay the foundations for
future good health and wellbeing. Higher levels of physical activity in childhood can
lead to continued participation in later life. With that in mind, LRS wanted to provide an
opportunity for local practitioners to come together to receive and share key information
around the early years physical activity agenda.
In May 2018, LRS held its first Early Years Physical Activity, Health and Wellbeing
Conference which was attended by over 100 Early Years Practitioners and partners from
across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland. Workshops on the day included the key
themes of parental engagement; in the moment planning; purposeful physical play;
magical imaginative play; nutrition; and emotional health and wellbeing.
The Early Years Physical Activity Awards were incorporated at the conference which commended various settings
for their achievements for being the most active, having a local champion and parental engagement. The feedback
from the day was really positive and LRS will now look to run this event on an annual basis.
“I am so pleased I attended - it has been informative and inspired me to extend my studies.”

Leicester Combat Academy
Leicester Combat Academy has come a long way since it first started
delivering wrestling and boxing sessions to 30 members in 2012.
During the last 12 months, LRS has supported the club with their
organisational structure, programming, budgeting, online subscription
system, financial management and income generation, including
securing over £20,000 from several different funding sources.
The club has transformed their gym from a basic matted facility to
a state-of-the-art training facility that includes a full-size Olympic
wrestling mat, a boxing ring and 18 punch bags. Thirty young people
at the club were also supported through a City and Guilds Accreditation in carpentry and tiling and then went on to
renovate the club’s toilets and shower area.
The club is thriving and numbers are growing every week. There are now over 200 people from the local community
using the club and seeing the benefits of being active. The club is continuing with its developments and is awaiting
the outcome of additional capital funding applications to make further improvements to the facility.
“The support and guidance from LRS has been phenomenal. I simply couldn’t have done it on my own and without
the support I received, the club would have closed. They have helped me to help others and really benefit our local
young people and community.”
