About Us

Brighton & Hove has one of the most successful Schools Sports Partnerships in the country. Set up in 2001, and led by Dorothy Stringer Sports College, the partnership established a schools sports festival in 2006 to develop a city-wide programme for children aged 5 to 16. This event has exceeded all expectations with over 11,000 children taking part in 2007.

Due to the festival's phenomenal success and the opportunity that the London 2012 games offer in terms of public interest in sport, the Partnership, in collaboration with the City Council and the local Primary Care Trust have decided to expand the festival to include adults, with the intention of making a step change in participation levels for sports and physical activity in the city.

Our aim is simple - to use the London 2012 Olympics to encourage more people to get more active more often.
