This school break the Better Newham Active Communities team has got you covered with a wide range of free activities for your children. We are bringing in specialist sports coaches. These clubs will be delivering high quality coaching sessions with a focus on their sport whilst also integrating fun games and other sports.
This year each week will have a focus on a different sport where coaches will be focusing on sports such as basketball, football and more.
These activities are a great way to keep your kids entertained in a safe, friendly environment. Thanks to Better’s partnership with Newham Council we can offer these community sessions completely free of charge!

Across leisure centres in Newham we believe in helping all ages stay fit and healthy and that is why we offer Junior Gym sessions for children aged 11-17 years. Anyone who plans to attend one of these sessions are required to book a Junior Gym induction after signing up to the Junior membership and prior to attending their first session.
Adult and Junior Gym Sessions
Keep your family active by working out together in our adult and junior gym sessions. Juniors must be supervised at all times by the adult accompanying them (the supervising adult is required to be a paying member to attend). Juniors are required to book into this session and must have completed an induction.
Let your little ones play, explore and make friends at our Soft Play areas in Atherton Leisure Centre and Newham Leisure Centre.
At Atherton, children can enjoy a multi-tiered play area featuring a submarine tunnel, rope bridge, wavy slides and plenty of obstacles for active fun and adventure.
The brand-new Soft Play at Newham Leisure Centre offers multi-level frames, slides, tunnels and a dedicated toddler and baby area (under 2s), all set within a safe, padded environment for peace of mind.
Wherever you visit, it’s the perfect place for kids to stay active, explore, and have fun in a bright and welcoming space.
