Do you know a young person in Crawley who lives and breathes sport? ⚽🏀

There's one final Coach Core Sussex apprenticeship up for grabs with Crawley Community Youth Service. It's a paid route into sports coaching for 16–24 year olds, with training, qualifications and real experience in the community.

Here's our 2023/24 cohort, who've shown exactly what this opportunity can lead to. 👏

Applications close on Monday, October 19.

💬 Send this to someone who'd be brilliant at this - link to apply is in the comments.

🔦 Calling all Sussex running clubs and groups!

When the clocks go back later this month, darker evenings will once again affect how many women choose to get active. Let's Lift the Curfew, from This Girl Can, is a national movement showing that women should feel able to run, walk and move outdoors after dark, without having to change their plans because of safety concerns.

England Athletics is inviting clubs, RunTogether groups and running communities to light up their local streets and parks with head torches, hi-vis and bright colours.

If you're planning something, please register it so your group is counted and the full impact of the campaign can be seen. More details in the comments...

Calling all coaches, clubs and sports parents! 🧡

We're delighted to introduce a new category for this year: the Play Their Way Award, celebrating coaches, instructors and activity leaders who put children's voice, choice and journey at the heart of everything they do.

Know someone who fits the bill? Now's the time to tell us about them!

Eugene lives with osteoporosis, and he's found that going to exercise classes regularly has made a massive difference for him.

His video is part of Brighton & Hove's We Are Undefeatable campaign. The series features people from across the city living with long-term health conditions, sharing how they stay active and why it matters to them.

Having a health condition doesn't mean you have to stop moving. Finding what works for you can make a real difference, and Eugene's story shows how.

Watch his video and share it with anyone who might find it encouraging. 💙

Sport brings us together, and that means we're often the first to notice when someone isn't okay 💜

The new On Your Side toolkit from The Royal Foundation, BSI and Chasing the Stigma gives everyone in sport (players, coaches, volunteers, parents and supporters) practical ways to spot the signs, start a conversation and help someone find support.

How many cigarette butts can you pick up in 15 minutes? That was the challenge set by Melanie from The Green Centre Brighton, when Goodgym Brighton and Active Sussex teamed up at The Level last week.

Despite the heavens opening, everyone got stuck in, and in just a quarter of an hour, each volunteer collected between 75g and 100g of cigarette butts.

Cigarette butts are the UK's biggest litter problem, with an estimated 2.4 million on England's high streets at any one time. Every one we picked up is a small win for Keep Britain Tidy's Cigarette Butts Are Rubbish campaign.

By the end of the session, we'd cleared 14.54kg of litter from the park:
♻️ 5.02kg of glass (recycled)
♻️ 1.29kg of plastic (recycled)
♻️ 0.86kg of aluminum cans (recycled)
⚡ 7.37kg of general waste, including 1.25kg of cigarette butts (sent for energy recovery).

Since signing our Environmental Sustainability Commitment, we've been working to embed greener practices into how we operate and to champion better access to quality green and blue spaces across Sussex. Days like this are a chance to put that into practice. Clean, safe, welcoming parks make it easier for everyone to get outside and be active. 🌿

A huge thank you to GoodGym Brighton and The Green Centre Brighton for having us. We'll be back!
