SIMMPLY CHANGING LIVES IN THE UK
Simmply Active creates positive opportunities for communities across the UK through sport, physical activity, mental wellbeing support, education, mentoring, and inclusive community programmes.
We work with people of all ages and backgrounds, including vulnerable young people, helping to build confidence, improve wellbeing, and create positive pathways for healthier, safer futures.
National Awareness Campaign
Kids can learn to pick up knives younger than you think.
Simmply Active has partnered with TBWA\MCR to launch a national awareness campaign encouraging parents and carers to recognise the warning signs of knife carrying at an earlier age and start important conversations before it's too late.
