Who can access the Sports Library?
The equipment is available to anyone within the community who are NOT-FOR-PROFIT – from families, to community groups to clubs. This service is aimed at increasing physical activity options available to the general public in the North East Region. The Sports Library gives the opportunity to purely seek out unstructured activities for fun, whether it be getting the family active in the back yard for a game of cricket or a community running a festival, the Sports Library will add an area of interest to increase participation for everyone. It is a great resource for clubs to access for training sessions without any expense to the club. Why not hold family fun activities at half time on match day utilising some of the components of the Sports Library Equipment? Please note – all borrowers need to be at least 18 years of age and be able to prove they will not gain financial benefits from borrowing equipment from the library.
