“Each activity we have planned covers a key topic, such as nutrition and the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Our aim is to get young people creative and active, whilst teaching them vital digital skills and encouraging healthy decision-making.”

He said: “Our clubs combine all three for a healthy balance between online and offline activities.”
