The Coventry Children's Mile event is returning this year after the event saw more than 1,800 children from over 30 schools participate in 2019. 

Taking place on 18 June, the event will be fundraising for Team Coventry’s journey to Daegu, South Korea, for the International Children’s Games along with a local charity.

The Lawn Tennis Association has confirmed the five players to face France in the Billie Jean King Cup by Gainbridge Qualifier on April 14-15 at the Coventry Building Society Arena.  

Harriet Dart, Heather Watson, Katie Boulter, Alicia Barnett and Olivia Nicholls will make up the team. 

Go Foleshill continue to hold their fantastic Community Mile in Edgwick Park each week, sometimes attracting more than 250 residents.  

Residents can run, jog or walk the mile.  

There is no need to book, just turn up and have fun.  

Sport England came to Coventry to take a look at the fantastic work that is taking place in the city with some of the projects that they fund, including Go Foleshill.

They headed to Edgwick Park to see how the community is engaging with the project and in particular, the Community Mile, a free event that the project runs weekly for families in the area.  

The 2023 Team Coventry came together for the first time since they have been selected to compete in this year’s International Children’s Games in South Korea in July.  

The athletes had their first briefing ahead of their long journey and training for the Games.  

The team is looking for sponsors and support of any kind to assist in their journey to Games.

The Adult Social Care leg of the Coventry Moves project has won a High Sheriff Award. In particular, the award was given to Marsh House, a retirement home in Coventry, for contribution to a community project and their continued participation in Coventry Moves.

The Coventry Moves project aims to tackle isolation and inactivity by incorporating socialisation, movement and activity into people’s lives. 

The residents at Marsh House have now started to plan their own activities and make new friendships and connections with other care homes as a result of the project. 

The free Broadgate Farmyard event is a family-friendly affair, guaranteed to keep both adults and children entertained.
