Make-a-Move Summer Holiday Programme The Make-a-Move Team engaged with over 10,000 young people across South East Northumberland during the summer holiday’s. This was the biggest and most successful programme that BVAL has delivered. Highlights included National Play Days at Ridley Park Blyth, Dr Pit Park Bedlington, & Carlisle Park Morpeth. If you would like more information on the holiday programme contact Nicola Hargreaves on 01670 542588. Ability to Play Football Camp Blyth Valley Arts and Leisure teamed up with Newcastle United Foundation to deliver a Football camp for disabled young people during the summer. The sessions took place at Sporting Club Cramlington where the stars of the future tested their skills against each other. During the training camp Newcastle United Foundation gave away prizes for effort and attitude including a pair of match tickets for Newcastle’s opening game of the season, won by Chris Maddox. Adam Dixon, Coordinator for the Ability to Play project said, “many of the children are fanatical about Newcastle and giving them the chance to feel part of the club is a great thing.” Ability to Play hold weekly Football sessions at Blyth Sports Centre as well as a host of other sporting and play opportunities for disabled young people.
