Following the success of the Dare To Believe Festivals in 2016 and 2018 Allianz in the UK is working with the Youth Sport Trust to launch the MoveNow Festivals for 2024. Aimed at secondary school children the 20 inclusive festivals will introduce them to Olympic and Paralympic sports in a fun and relaxed environment.
Each Festival will be run by Youth Sport Trust Athlete Mentors, Young Leaders and Allianz volunteers with the opportunity to try sports and activities at local aspirational facilities. The launch event took place at the Lee Valley Athletics centre in London on the 29th January for over 100 children, with the next Festivals scheduled for Birmingham in February and Bristol, Milton Keynes, Manchester and Guildford in March. The remaining Festivals are scheduled throughout the year in locations ranging from Bournemouth to Glasgow. This mapping gives as many children as possible the opportunity to take part and enables Allianz employees to support their communities through volunteering at the events.
