KIDS FITNESS FIRST

What We Do

Supporting Movement, Balance, and Inclusion

At Kids Fitness First, we support children, young people, and young adults to be active in ways that feel positive, achievable, and inclusive. We recognise that everyone is different, and that physical activity should support wellbeing, confidence, and routine — not pressure or competition.

We live in a digital world, and screens are now a normal part of everyday life. For some children and young people, including those who are neurodivergent, screens can play a role in learning, communication, or self-regulation. Autism is a neurodiverse condition and is not caused by screen time. However, there can be correlations between high levels of screen use and challenges around balance, routine, and physical activity. Our focus is on supporting healthier balance, not blame.

Not every child or young person thrives in mainstream or highly competitive sports. This can be especially true for autistic individuals, people with ADHD, dyslexia, or those who experience anxiety, sensory sensitivities, or low confidence. That is why we focus on offering alternative, inclusive activities that encourage movement while respecting individual needs.

As children grow into adolescence and young adulthood, including ages 16 to 25, building routine, independence, and confidence becomes increasingly important. By encouraging balanced habits that combine physical activity with everyday life, we aim to support young people in preparing for adulthood, further education, volunteering, training, or employment pathways.

 

At Kids Fitness First, we work alongside families, carers, educators, and partner organisations to create inclusive, flexible opportunities that help young people feel supported, capable, and valued — whatever their individual journey looks like.
