Come and give it a go, play sports, learn new skills, explore faith and have fun.

In the Forest of Dean, we partner with the Christian Adventure Centre Viney Hill to deliver an incredible programme of adventure activities. Activities take place at the Viney Hill Centre and at other locations across the Forest. 

In the Forest of Dean you'll meet Simon:

"I joined Sportily in April 2025 as the full-time Sports and Faith Coach in the Forest of Dean. I work with primary schools, doing Wellbeing Champions, football clubs, assemblies, and at Drybrook Youth Club, as well as leading Pop-Up Sports across the Forest during the school holidays."

You'll also meet Lucy:

"In February 2024, I joined Sportily as a sport and Faith Coach across the benefice of Newnham, Blakeney and Awre. I love the variety of the role and the interaction with a wide range of people. For me, a typical week could involve leading a Wellbeing Champions or Sports Leader session in school, running an afterschool club, facilitating an adult netball or 0-5k group and being part of 'All Age Worship' in the benefice. In the school holidays, I love getting involved in pop-up sports, whatever the weather is!"

Jane:

"Working with under 5s is something that I love, and working as a Community Family Minister for the Lydney churches, it was a natural 'next step' to become a Sportily sessional worker in January 2024, running Active Tots sessions across the Forest of Dean. 

It's a joy to be part of the Forest of Dean Sportily Team and have fun together whilst being active. "
