Are you ready for the challenge? 💪

What a wonderful trip to King's College Taunton for and 201 runner from local primary schools! 🏃🌈 There were two competitive races, one for year 5 and one for year 6, where the top 3 boys and girls received medals, and this year's event saw the introduction of a new Colour Run, offering pupils who preferred a less competitive challenge the opportunity to get involved and enjoy the occasion. Younger siblings joined in the run, parents and teachers got colourful too and some parents even joined in with throwing the paint, which they thoroughly enjoyed! We ended up having to shut the course as the children didn’t want to stop!

We would like to say a huge thank you to the wonderful Kings College team who support us to run this event. Without their staff and students we wouldn’t be able to facilitate opportunities like this for the local primary schools. Well done also to all the schools listed below who took part and made it such an enjoyable day!

Another huge success for our 2026 Strategy Partner Engagement Event! 💙
Thank you to everyone who joined us today! 🤝

The day focused on the central theme: ‘The Way We Work & Creating the Conditions for Change’.

Highlights included:
1. An exploration on why creating the right conditions matters.
2. James Watmough from Sport England shared the wider context for system change and the opportunities ahead.
3. We heard a brilliant keynote from Alison Kervin OBE on ‘Think Differently: Creating the Conditions for Extraordinary Change’
4. Followed by a new addition…our very own Somerset Moves Silent Disco! 🪩🕺This movement break enabled attendees to move in their own way, which is right at our core here at SASP!

A detailed recap of the day will be coming later this week! 👀
