This week, we're proud to support Good Relations Week 2026 & its theme

At Sport Changes Life, we see every day how sport can bring people together, break down barriers, and create opportunities for meaningful connections across communities.

Through our sport-led programmes across Northern Ireland, we remain committed to promoting respect, inclusion, understanding and belonging for all.

As we continue to celebrate Positive Ageing Month, Sport Changes Life is delighted to highlight three new 6 week Boccia programmes starting next week in the ABC area:

📍 Ardmore Recreation Centre, Armagh | 13 October
📍 Banbridge Leisure Centre, Banbridge | 14 October
📍 Brownlow Hub, Craigavon | 15 October

Boccia is inclusive, accessible and, most importantly, a brilliant way to bring people together through physical activity. 🙌🏻

These programmes have been made possible through fantastic partnership working with Ark Housing Association, Arbour Housing, Choice Housing through the Housing for All programme, and together with the Southern Health Trust and the Age Friendly Team at Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council.

💙 Full details below for timings and registration.

Brilliant to see the initiative featured in a recent ABC Seniors Newsletter 👏

⛳ One week on…

It’s hard to believe our 2026 Charity Golf Day at Malone Golf Club was this day last week

Our annual golf day was spent with friends, colleagues, partners and supporters, all coming together to support the work of the foundation.

A huge thank you to everyone who played, sponsored a hole, donated prizes, provided in-kind support or simply helped make the day possible. Every contribution makes a difference and our entire team & board are very grateful 🙏🏻

The funds raised will go directly back into our local communities across Northern Ireland, helping us use sport led intervention to raise aspirations and support people on their own journeys.

A special thank you to our Headline Sponsor, Nu-Delhi Lounge Belfast for supporting once again, and also to the team at Headache Golf for the addictive 19th Hole Challenge.

Here’s a little look back at last week ⛳️
