Netball for asylum seekers in Hertfordshire

Tue 07 Jan 2025 11:21

This year we have been working closely with Hertfordshire Police to deliver netball sessions to women housed in asylum seeker hotels in areas of Hertfordshire.
These netball sessions have provided the participants with an outlet for social isolation and helped to improve their physical and mental well being.

For our last session of the year, we were joined by The High Sheriff of Hertfordshire, Annie Brewster, along with partners from Herts County Netball Association, Netball East, and Hertfordshire Sports Partnership.

We’d like to say a huge thanks to Stevenage Arts and Leisure Centre, for hosting our group between Sept - Dec, and we look forward to returning in 2025!
Also a huge thanks goes to Stevenage Community Trust who kindly provided funding for new equipment, and refreshments for our end of year celebrations.

Thanks to support from Hertfordshire County Netball Association, these sessions will now restart in January 2025.
