Skating Sessions That Inspire, Empower and Uplift

This month, we’re rolling the spotlight onto the amazing young people who’ve been gliding, spinning, and building confidence at the Pimlico Foundation’s Roller Skating sessions and loving every minute on wheels!

Jul 25 NSC Spotlight On the Ground

Every Friday afternoon, the Queen Mother Sports Centre (223 Vauxhall Bridge Road, Pimlico, SW1V 1EL) between 16:30 – 17:45 p.m, comes alive with energy, laughter and wheels in motion, all thanks to the Pimlico Foundation’s Roller Skating sessions for children and young people.

Session Details:

These weekly sessions offer more than just skating, they’re a safe, supportive space where young people can express themselves, grow in confidence, and feel part of a positive, uplifting community. So grab your skates (or borrow a pair) and roll into the fun – your Friday just got way more exciting!

Here’s what the participants had to say:

“Having a space where I feel safe, supported, and free to be myself has made a huge difference to my emotional and mental well-being. Coming here is the highlight of my week."

Fast-Paced, High Energy, And Full Of Opportunity: Futsal Hits Westminster

Fast-Paced, High Energy, and Full of Opportunity: Futsal Hits Westminster

On Friday 14 June, Westminster played host to it’s first-ever girls’ school Futsal Tournament – a fast-paced and exciting event organised by Futsallers, F33 League, Everyone Active and ActiveWestminster. Local players showcased incredible speed, skill and teamwork in a dynamic indoor competition that celebrated both sport and opportunity.

What is Futsal?

Futsal is a high-intensity, 5-a-side version of football played indoors on a hard court with a smaller, low-bounce ball. It’s fast, technical, and exciting, perfect for developing sharp footwork, quick thinking and creative play. Global icons like Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo credit futsal for shaping their skills. Read more about Futsal.

Inspiring the next generation

With stars like England Lionesses Kate McGreavy and Rosanna Frith-Salem making waves in the futsal scene, more girls than ever are stepping onto the court. Their success is helping to inspire a new generation of young players, especially girls, to get involved, try something new, and aim high.

A path to the Youth Olympics

Futsal is growing and so are the opportunities. Plans are underway to form a youth futsal team for the 2026 Youth Olympics, meaning young players who get involved now could be in with a shot at representing Team GB on the international stage.

Ready to play?

Futsal is fast, fun, and full of potential, and it’s never been easier to get started.

Westminster is proud to be the first London borough to pilot Futsal in schools, making it more accessible than ever for young people to get involved.

And this is just the beginning. There are more competitions on the way, with both boys’ and girls’ matches and tournaments planned. We want everyone to have the chance to play, grow, and shine on the court.

In the meantime, get practising and stay tuned for more ways to play and compete in Westminster.
