Young people in Chester can look forward to a fun and active summer thanks to a jam-packed sports and activity programme provided by Sanctuary Housing and police community support officers.

Sanctuary will be hosting a series of multi-sports and youth activity sessions at Sycamore Field in Lache, Limewood Field in Kingsway and Wealstone Lane in Upton during July and August.

The multi-sports are open to young people aged seven plus and participants will be able to try a wide range of sports including football, basketball, hula hooping and rounders.
