2025 ION Youth Summer Wellbeing Initiative
We’re proud to announce that our 2025 ION Youth Summer Wellbeing Initiative is set to run for the fourth consecutive year, continuing a community-driven programme that’s positively impacted over 1,000 children across Cardiff since 2021. This summer, we’ll once again be delivering free access to physical activity, structured play, and personal development sessions for young people aged 7–16, with a focus on those from less affluent backgrounds, those with additional learning needs, and girls, whose participation in sport typically drops with age.
With only 16% of Welsh teens meeting daily activity guidelines, this programme arrives at a critical time. It’s about more than movement, it’s about supporting mental health, building confidence, and creating safe, uplifting spaces where kids can feel part of something.
A huge thanks to the support of the following local businesses and organisations helping to make a difference again this summer, creating opportunity, connection, and a positive legacy in the communities we serve.
