Nationwide Ball Library<\/h3>\n

Alive and Kicking and Sport England have come together to create a nationwide community ball library network.\u00a0 Young people can borrow a ball for free, play with it locally with friends, family and neighbours, and then return it for someone else to use.<\/p>\n

Inspired by a group of students in Hackney, London, the ball library exists to increase access to sport and community services while strengthening community belonging. The long term aim is that everyone is in walking distance of a ball.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n \n \n <\/div>\n
