Gwella’s Community Sports Hubs are a crucial community resource in the local area.
Gwella Sports Development aims to offer positive experiences and opportunities to inspire people living in Flintshire to stay active and healthy. Their Community Sports Hubs are at the heart of their offer for children and young people, offering a safe space where participants feel supported, appreciated, and inspired to discover their potential.
Across Gwella’s seventeen hubs, more than 200 young individuals from diverse backgrounds gather weekly to participate in a wide range of free sessions. Activities on offer include boxing, football, skateboarding and multisports, providing a varied and vibrant offer to engage the local community.
During school holidays, participants have the opportunity to take part in unique experiences including high-energy inflatable park sessions, go-karting adventures and climbing wall activities – enabling them to try things that they may not otherwise have the chance to as well as building skills including resilience, teamwork and communication.
At the core of the Hubs’ mission is the belief that every young person should have access to high-quality sport and physical activity, regardless of financial circumstances. All of their Community Sports Hubs sessions are therefore offered free of charge, removing barriers to participation and levelling the playing field for all.
