Schools, Families, Sports and Youth Clubs across Northamptonshire will be able to join in with our Active Advent Calendar this December.
As part of our work to encourage children (and adults) to be active for 60 minutes a day, the Active Advent Calendar contains a whole range of different physical and creative challenges lasting between 30 seconds and 15 minutes. All of the activities are provided as a guide but can be adapted to suit the space and equipment available and number of people taking part.
