Active Lancashire and Spar have announced they will continue in partnership with the Lancashire School Games for a 19th year. The announcement comes as a Girls Active event was held in Clitheroe (above), where 150 children from Pennine Lancashire schools engaged in an afternoon of activities.
The Lancashire School Games are run by Active Lancashire and the School Games Organiser Network and have been sponsored by Spar through its association with James Hall & Co. Ltd since 2006. Last year’s event saw an increased focus on three distinct clusters in Lancashire – coastal, central, and Pennine – ensuring schoolchildren enjoy a programme of activity better aligned to local needs.
Andy Clark, schools partnerships officer at Active Lancashire, said: “It’s fantastic to have Spar on board as sponsors of the Lancashire School Games once again, continuing our successful and long-standing partnership. Through the reformatted Games in 2023-24 we managed to engage even more children. We couldn’t have achieved that without Spar’s support, and it’s great that we have that platform to build on for the 2024-25 Games.”
Philippa Harrington, marketing manager at James Hall & Co. Ltd, said: “We’re very pleased to continue in our partnership. Last year was the first in a new era for the Spar Lancashire School Games with the change in model delivering more impact and a trio of finale events to enjoy. We look forward to another year of supporting physical activity and developing the life skills of young people living in communities across Lancashire.”
