We are now operating a helpline to support clubs and organisations in South Yorkshire and West Yorkshire impacted by the coronavirus lockdown.

Many of the clubs and organisations across the two counties are being supported by their local authority or the relevant National Governing Body. We want to support any clubs not yet in contact with that support.

The line is monitored 9am - 5pm, Monday to Friday. You can call on 0330 2020 280. For those unable to call, you can access an online form or contact the relevant member of our local support team.

A set of digital resources have been made available to support organisations looking to promote indoor activity.

Join the Movement: #StayInWorkOut is the campaign from Sport England to encourage people to be active at home during the lockdown.

Full details of the campaign can be found here, and the digital resources are here. Sport England are looking to gather imagery of people being active at home. If you have any to share, please contact andy.morgan@yorkshiresport.org

Promote virtual activities for free

Our activity finder now shows virtual activities, and its free to use.

We are part of the Open Data initiative and so activities will be seen on national national platforms like This Girl Can and Change4life.

A campaign designed and created in Yorkshire to support teachers, parents and carers to teach physical education has received national recognition from the Department for Education.

The #ThisIsPE campaign, led by Yorkshire Sport Foundation, uses specialist teachers of PE from across the county to film two-minute videos with activities that can be replicated at home, all linked to the primary PE curriculum.

Supported by the Association for Physical Education, North Yorkshire Sport and the Youth Sport Trust, the resource has been listed as one of four 'high-quality resources' in physical education, alongside those produced by the NHS, BBC and Disney.

To find out more about the campaign and how you can share it with your audiences, download the #ThisIsPE toolkit.

North Yorkshire Sport, Active Humber and Yorkshire Sport Foundation have collaborated to bring you the Yorkshire and Humber Learning Community.

It is an online resource to access free modules to support club, school and organisations who want to engage or retain more people into physical activity, create an inspiring offer and support the wellbeing of customers.

Check out the modules for free here.
