Northamptonshire Sport is a leading physical activity, health and wellbeing charity.
As one of 43 active partnerships across England, they collaborate with local partners to create the conditions for a more active county, using the power of sport and physical activity to change lives in Northamptonshire

“This includes delivering HAF Northants, a government funded school holiday programme that ensures disadvantaged children, young people and families have access to healthy food and enriching activities throughout the school holidays.
“Trilogy are a brilliant local organisation, supporting people from all backgrounds to be active - whether that’s as a member of their gyms, a learner on their swim programme or part of a club using their facilities. Northamptonshire Sport is proud of the work we’ve done together and look forward to many more years of partnership.” said Chris Holmes, Chief Executive of Northamptonshire Sport.
