Our athletes put pen to paper for our life skills workshop – Aiming High.

On one side, our under 11s dreaming big and unfiltered ❤️✨
"I want to get stronger, faster… have stealth🥷… be an Olympian🥇."

Then our older athletes took a more focused approach in the grandstand, discussing and mapping out the steps to turn their own goals into reality.

Behind every life skills workshop we do is a plan, ten core capabilities we build, week by week:
Listening | Presenting | Networking | Problem solving | Creativity | Staying positive | Aiming high | Discipline | Teamwork | Leadership

From "stealth mode" to structured goal-setting; this is the journey of growth we love to see our young people go on.

Here's to dreaming big, planning and working hard. 🚀

"If it seems like a youth club in the open air - it is." ✨

Spot on Runner's World. Grateful to have been featured in the latest magazine.

It's not just about the laps, the times or the medals. It's about creating a space where young people in London feel safe, supported and part of something bigger. Proud to see Kaliyah and Jaiden featured and our mission shared.

"One trusted adult changes everything." ❤️‍🔥

Research shows that a trusted adult can dramatically mitigate the negative impacts of childhood adversity. It's a protective factor that changes life trajectories. 🛡️

But in Brent, young people are twice as likely to lack that emotional support and they're falling through gaps in overstretched systems. 🧩

That's where a new trustee - maybe YOU - can come in. 👀

Our board has strong governance ✅. Now, we need to deepen our expertise where it matters most: on the frontline. 🏃🏿‍♀️🌱🎓🤜🤛🌟

We are seeking a new Trustee with direct, hands-on experience in youth work, education or mentoring. 🧠 Someone who understands the realities of helping young people build confidence, resilience and skills. 🚀

Your role? Bridge our boardroom strategy with our delivery at Willesden Sports Centre. 🤝 Help guide our programmes to be as resilient, relevant and transformative as the young people we serve need them to be. 💪

We are particularly keen to hear from individuals with a deep understanding of our communities and from underrepresented ethnic backgrounds. We believe our board should reflect the incredible diversity of our young people. 🙌

Think this could be you or someone you know? Tag them below! 👇

A group of our young people stepped out of their comfort zones and tried something completely new: a reformer pilates session at Absolute Studios with the brilliant Vinny.

It was a first for everyone. New movements, new muscles, new challenges. But growth doesn't happen in the familiar - it happens when we're brave enough to try something different.

We couldn't be prouder of how they embraced the session. Here is what they had to say about the experience:

🗣️ "The leg workout was a challenge but I really enjoyed it."
🗣️ "Really good, enjoyable and relaxing. I felt more flexible."
🗣️ "It was relaxing... the music helped me!"

A huge thank you to Vinny and the team at Absolute Studios for hosting us. We're hoping we'll be back soon. 🙏

Here's to stepping into the unknown. 💪

An Important Update on The Relay 🗓️

After talking to lots of runners and partners we've decided to postpone the 12hr 400m Relay until March/April 2026.
Why? Because we're aiming bigger! ⏸️➡️🚀

There's so much enthusiasm for the event that we all want a bit more time to make this event as good as it can be and give you a unique and memorable experience.

We are so excited about the potential of this event and believe this move will allow us to create something truly special for the community. We'll share the new event date in the next week or so. If you'd like to get involved as a sponsor or partner just message us.

Thanks for the enthusiasm and support. 👏 ❤️
