Bone Health Screening Now Available At Queen Mother Sports Centre

1 in 3 women and 1 in 5 men will suffer an osteoporotic fracture in their lifetime. Most never see it coming – until now.

Bone health rarely gets the attention it deserves, until it’s too late. Everyone Active’s new Screen My Bones® service, now available at Queen Mother Sports Centre, is changing that with a fast, simple scan that gives a complete picture of your bone strength.

EA Bone Screening Flyer with details of service, and facts about bone health, in black text, with a QR code to scan and a picture of a woman in running motion with the bones in her leg highlighted to stand out
Your bones carry you. Give them 20 minutes back - scan the QR code to book.
The Silent Risk, Made Visible

Osteoporosis is often called a silent condition, developing without symptoms until a fracture happens. Screen My Bones® takes just 20 minutes, is radiation-free, and requires no referral, yet delivers results that go further than a standard scan. Catching risk early means taking action early, whether that’s through diet, exercise, or medical support, before a break forces the issue.

Scan, Book, Done

Sessions are running now at Queen Mother Sports Centre, 223 Vauxhall Bridge Rd, Pimlico, London SW1V 1EL. Booking takes seconds: scan the QR code on-site or visit the Everyone Active website to secure a slot.

Ashmore Road Comes Alive: Play Day Was A Roaring Success!

Bikes, ball games, chalk art and an epic tug of war! Ashmore Road Play Street was buzzing, last Wednesday 5th August, as ActiveWestminster and Play England and Play Their Way brought free, open-air fun to families across the community!

A street full of play

No sign-up, no fuss, just local families turning up, joining in and making memories together. From scooters whizzing past to pavement art taking shape, the street transformed into a playground for the afternoon, proving that all you really need for a brilliant day out is some open space and a sense of fun.

A huge thank you to our partners Everyone Active, Cycle Confident, Change4Life and Play England and Play Their Way, who brought the energy, activities and expertise that made the day so special.

Days like this matter more than ever. Play England, alongside Play Their Way, is calling on the government to revive a National Play Strategy, making the case that free, accessible play needs long-term investment and support, not just one day a year. Ashmore Road is a small snapshot of what that could look like across the country. Read the full press release here to find out more.

Bring play to your street

Loved what you saw at Ashmore Road? This is Active Streets in action, turning everyday streets into spaces for play, connection and community. Find out how you could bring a session like this to your own street!

One weekend. One community. One ball.

This September, pitches across Paddington Recreation Ground come alive for Unity in the Community – our free grassroots football tournament that’s been bringing Westminster together for years. This isn’t just a competition. It’s neighbours becoming teammates, strangers becoming supporters, and a whole community showing up for each other on and off the pitch.

Mark your calendar: Saturday 5 & Sunday 6 September 2026

Here’s what you can expect:

Saturday 5: Kicks off with – a girls-only development session – skills, confidence and non-competitive matches in a fun, supportive space, backed by United Dragons FC.

Sunday 6: Brings the main event – a mixed-gender tournament open to U10, U12, U14 and U16 teams, all battling it out for medals and bragging rights on Westminster’s finest start of the art pitches.

Whether you’re rallying your five-a-side regulars, pulling together a squad from your school or club, or just showing up solo to be placed in a team – there’s a spot on the pitch with your name on it.

 

This is what community sport looks like. No fees. No barriers. Just people coming together to play the game they love.

Spaces are limited and filling up fast – so tag your teammates, share the tournament and sign up. Let’s fill every pitch.
