Healthy Lifestyle Centre


Community Teachsport CIC is a community interest company founded in October 2010, and developed to create activities and sports provision for children and families around Lewisham in South East London.

Community Teachsport CIC is linked to Teachsport , a body working within primary and secondary schools to make a difference to young people’s lives through sport – regardless of ethnicity, gender, age, or economic status. They believe that everyone has the right to experience sport in a safe and fun environment.

Over a period of three and a half years Community Teachsport CIC managed to acquire a derelict playing field in Lewisham through a community asset transfer from Lewisham Council.Through hard work and determination the Abbotshall Road Healthy Lifestyle Centre was opened in May 2015, transforming the space in to a centre that provides activities seven days a week, to everyone in the community, with classes for a wide age range – from toddlers to 90+ years old – creating a new resource to encourage the whole community to live healthy lifestyles. The centre is currently working in partnership with number of schools to encourage children to be active and have fun. The centre also hosts regular adult classes and community events.
