A huge congratulations to our young athletes! Westminster proudly clinched Bronze in Boys Table Tennis at the London Youth Games Finals Festival, held at Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park this July.

More highlights from Westminster:

  • Silver in Boys Cricket
  • 4th in Girls Judo
  • 5th in Boys Basketball

Cllr Cara Sanquest, Cabinet Member for Communities at Westminster City Council, said:

“It’s brilliant to see so many children and young people living or studying in Westminster excel in the London Youth Games this year. It’s fantastic that a Westminster competitor has taken home bronze in table tennis, and that we had impressive successes in cricket and basketball. All of our athletes have done Westminster proud – congratulations to everyone who took part.”

As the 50th anniversary Golden Games approaches in 2027, LYG is inviting Londoners to share their stories and celebrate the life-changing impact of the Games here: The London Youth Games Helped Me...Since 1977, more than two million young people aged 7–17 have taken part – including sporting legends like Mo Farah, Christine Ohuruogu MBE, David Weir CBE, and Raheem Sterling MBE.

We Are Now Officially ActiveWestminster!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Our team has a new name: ActiveWestminster!

This change marks an important step forward, bringing our name in line with the work we do every day to support inclusive participation, wellbeing, and community activity across Westminster.

Why the name change?

We’ve moved away from our former name, Sport, Leisure and Active Communities, because ActiveWestminster is already a recognised, trusted brand across the borough.

It’s simpler, more memorable, and better reflects how residents, partners, and stakeholders know and connect with us. We’re proud to align even more closely with the ActiveWestminster Strategy and the council-wide Fairer Westminster Strategy as we continue working for a healthier, more active borough.

This update will help us:

  • Strengthen our identity
  • Streamline communications
  • Improve visibility and recognitio

About the ActiveWestminster Partnership

The ActiveWestminster Partnership is a borough-wide network of organisations, schools, sports clubs, charities, voluntary sector, health services and local people, all working together to make Westminster more active and inclusive.

Facilitated by Westminster City Council, the partnership focuses on:

  • Reducing health inequalities
  • Embedding physical activity in everyday life
  • Creating inclusive, accessible opportunities for all
