Southend City Council’s Health4Life Programme is looking for local sports and physical activity providers to support children and families across Southend.

We’re refreshing our delivery model to offer children more variety, more choice, and stronger pathways into local activities - and we want to work with YOU!

We’re looking for providers who can deliver:
- Fun, inclusive sessions for children aged 5–11
- Activities that build confidence, enjoyment, and wellbeing
- Opportunities for families to stay active beyond the programme

This is a fantastic opportunity to:
- Engage families who may not usually access sport
- Grow participation in your sessions
- Be part of a Southend City Council programme
