Westminster came to life with movement, community spirit and seriously good vibes, as more than 10,360 residents got involved in April’s Active Westminster weekend, which took place on on Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th April.

From packed fitness classes and family activities to competitive sport and brand-new sessions, communities across the borough came together to move more, try something new and have fun doing it.

This edition introduced exciting new activities across Westminster, including Slam Jam Basketball at Church Street Community Leisure Centre, Boccia and Bowls at Little Venice Sports Centre, Active Antz at Moberly Sports Centre, Body Combat at Porchester Centre and hugely popular Rollerskating sessions at Queen Mother Sports Centre.

The Unity in the Community Football Tournament also brought the heat, with 49 young players across 7 teams competing in an electric atmosphere full of skill, teamwork and community pride. Our winning teams were as follows:
  • Under 16s – London Capitol
  • Under 14s – London Eagles

Whether it was young people trying a new sport, families getting active together or residents rediscovering  local facilities right on their doorstep, the weekend proved once again that ActiveWestminster is all about bringing communities together through movement. 

Save The Date

The next ActiveWestminster Weekend takes place on Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd August, promising even bigger community vibe, more activities, and another unforgettable weekend across Westminster.

A Tournament That Brings People Together

Unity in the Community is about more than what happens on the pitch, it’s a celebration of what sport can do. It’s a day of bringing people together across the community, celebrating inclusion and diversity and creating opportunities to connect through sport with something for everyone to get involved in.

Mixed Football Tournament: Sunday 12 April between 11am – 4pm

At the heart of the day is the mixed football tournament, a fast paced, inclusive competition, welcoming players from across Westminster and beyong.

Open to mixed gender teams, it’s a chance for young players to:

  • Compete and Connect
  • Show their skills at our state of the art pitches
  • Be part of something bigger and represent their community

Whether you are playing to win, or just for the love of the game, or just coming along to support, expect great football and even better energy on and off the pitch.

Girls Football Festival: Saturday 11 April between 1 – 3pm

Running alongside the main tournament is The Girls ONLY Football Festival, a dedicated space for young female players to get involved.

Starting with a fun skills session, followed by non-competitive friendly matches, it’s all about:

  • Building confidence
  • Trying something new
  • Enjoying the game in a supportive and safe space.

It’s all about building confidence, having fun, and encouraging more girls to get involved in footballUnity.

The Pitch is Set, Now it’s Your Turn to Make Your Move.
