Previously with funding from Sport England, we have run two Commonwealth Games celebration events for Primary and Secondary Schools. We wanted to ensure we gave a 'youth voice' to all our planning for these events so we linked with six Primary and four Secondary Schools across the County to get ideas from the pupils. We worked with 86 children from student councils and sports leader groups from the following schools:
We concentrated on the Commonwealth Games Values and how we could embed these into our events with the support of the youth voice work we had completed. As a reward, these pupils came along to the events as helpers to offer their support on the day and see some of their plans live in action!
