Free inclusive Archery programme for young people

A free Inclusive Archery programme for young people aged 8 to 16 will start at the Fermanagh Lakeland Forum, Enniskillen on Monday 23 January 2017 at 6.30pm.

It's part of the Every Body Active 2020 programme and Sport NIs 6 million pound investment of National Lottery funding in the 11 councils.

Speaking about the forthcoming programme, Chairperson of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, Councillor Mary Garrity, said:

“Being physically active is important for health and well-being. Being physically active from a young age can help to encourage life-long participation in physical activity. Fermanagh and Omagh District Council is pleased to work in partnership with Sport Northern Ireland’s Every Body Active 2020 programme to provide this opportunity for our young residents to get active through archery.”

Sport Northern Ireland Interim Chair, Brian Delaney, commented:

“Sport NI is delighted to be investing over £6m of National Lottery funding in the 11 District Councils across Northern Ireland. By working together over the next 4 years on the delivery of Strand 1 of Every Body Active 2020 we will begin to see real changes in sport and physical activity participation – especially amongst women and girls, people with a disability and those in areas of greatest social need. We look forward to seeing the impact of our investment for people in our communities, helping them to enjoy, engage and excel in sport and leading to a population which is more active more often”.
