Lincolnshire schools to participate in Mini Olympics in Stamford, Bourne and the Deepings

A sports charity is set to hold its 15th Mini Olympics - this year being known as the 'Mini Commonwealth Games' in celebration of the real event in Birmingham this summer.

More than 2,500 children will be taking part in three days of activities hosted by Inspire+ from June 14 until June 16.

Each school participating will represent a randomly selected country.

Chris Graves from Inspire+ said: "It feels like such a long time ago since the last face-to-face games.

"The virtual Mini Olympics were a fantastic achievement and gave so many young people and families a chance to participate.

"But, we along with our schools, cannot wait to all be back together at the athletics stadium for three truly inspiring days."

The children involved will take part in activities including wheelchair basketball, dodgeball, boxercise, freestyle football and learning a dance from the Royal Opera House.

Additionally, they will be able to meet Paralympians Sam Ruddock, Johnathan Broom-Edwards, Daniel Pembroke, Olympian Sophie Devenish, and adventurer Sarah Outen.

Parents are invited to attend and watch their children participate in the games, with the opening ceremony commencing at 10:15am.
