So far this season, the Belfast Giants have been out to over 50 schools and visited over 10,000 children as part of the Subway Healthy Lifestyle Programme. It has been an enormously exciting year taking so many new Giants out to visit Primary Schools throughout Northern Ireland, all made possible by the good people at Subway.

We’ve been visiting schools now since late September and offering the children the opportunity to hear about how to choose a Healthy Lifestyle with some tips from the players themselves on how to eat right and stay physically fit.

Judging by their enthusiasm, the children have certainly enjoyed their visit from the Giants and we hope that they have picked up some useful information which will help them to be healthy and fit throughout their lives.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the schools for the wonderful welcome we have received and all the assistance they have given the Giants in setting up these visits.

We’ll be having over a dozen school parties at games throughout the month of March and we hope all the schools have a great evening and remember to cheer loudly for the Giants!

An enormous thank you must go to Subway for their continued involvement with the Healthy Lifestyle programme.  They have given the Giants the support which enables us to carry out this very important work in the communities throughout Northern Ireland.

Finally a Giant thank you to all the players who have, so willingly, given up their time to visit all these schools. The enthusiasm, rapport with the children and professionalism has been great to see throughout the programme.
