In April 2026, Sarn Helen Running Club began their journey with Athletix, driven by a team of Activators of various ages, backgrounds and levels of experience. United by their enthusiasm and commitment, the Sarn Helen RC Activators created a welcoming and energetic environment where children develop a love of athletics.
With a strong focus on fun, Sarn Helen RC places enjoyment at the heart of every session, listening to what the children want, building positive relationships and adapting to meet the needs of the children. By creating experiences that are engaging, inclusive and rewarding, the Activators at Sarn Helen RC have fostered a sense of belonging that keeps children returning week after week.
"When I see the kids enjoying the games, it's 100% worth it. Everything we do is child based, if they open up and they say they're not enjoying the game, we change it. They're the reason we're doing this." Ben Alun Hall (Athletics Activator at Sarn Helen RC).
"The emphasis is on them having fun and lots of words of encouragement." Jane Cousinne (Xanthe's Mum).
"This kind of activity really helps him, it takes his mind off of his shyness." Tim Boyle (Eifion's Dad).
"We want to make sure it is somewhere everyone can come, from all abilities. You want to give everyone an equal chance". Sioned Kersey (Athletics Activator at Sarn Helen RC).
"Sarn Helen provides a great example of the Foundations Framework in action." "The way in which it is delivered in the right environment, by the right people, with the right attitude will make such a huge difference to a child's experience." Hannah Baulch (Head of Participation at Welsh Athletics).
