Active Hastings supports Progress Network

Active Hastings were delighted to join a recent Progress Network Sparks football session at Warrior Square Gardens to see their training sessions in action, and to see so many young people proudly wearing their brand-new football kits!

Cath Donovan, Physical Activity and Health Strategic Lead said “We were delighted to help Progress Network secure funding for 50 new football kits. A huge thank you to CGI for sponsoring this initiative and making it possible. We’re proud to have our logo on the back of these shirts and even prouder to stand behind Progress Network, who do such an amazing job engaging young people in physical activity and strengthening the community in Central St Leonards.”

Alongside running their own sessions, Active Hastings works closely with local community organisations to increase participation in sport and physical activity. This is achieved by providing training resources, building connections, highlighting funding opportunities and help with grant applications.

Jerome, Progress Network, said: “Progress Network would like to say a big thank you to everyone at Active Hastings and CGI for putting a smile on the kids' faces.”

Councillor Glenn Haffenden, leader of the council and lead councillor for sport and leisure, said: “Collaborative working at its best! Huge congratulations to Progress Network and Active Hastings for securing kit sponsorship for the Progress Network Sparks football sessions, what a great achievement!”
