Free Community Activities
We run a wide range of activities for all ages and abilities (starting from age 8 and above). The main sports we offer are sessions for basketball, football, and boxing/fitness. Alongside this, we run programmes such as yoga, tai chi, table tennis and strength and movement classes. Whilst we are predominately a sports site , we also focus on extracurricular delivery, including training and development, educational workshops, mentoring and sessions focused on wellbeing and mental health.
We have a variety of free community fitness sessions taking place throughout the week on the mezzanine, located in our boxing gym. These range from open gym sessions (supervised by a PT) to coached classes (delivered by our partners). To book onto any of these classes, please click here. Our Gym can also be privately hired by PTs, if you are interested, please contact our admin team on admin@blackprincetrust.org.uk

We run every day over each holiday and half term, except for the Winter break.

We rely on donations and support from funders to ensure we can continue to provide free food alongside our free activity.

BPT’s Community Food Programme - Felix Project
The Felix Project operates by collecting surplus food from supermarkets, wholesalers, farms, and restaurants that would otherwise go to waste, then sorting and delivering this food free of charge to charities, schools, and community organizations in London, allowing them to provide meals to vulnerable people in need; essentially combating food waste while fighting hunger by redistributing nutritious food to those who need it most.
BPT’s Community Food Programme is open on Wednesdays and Fridays – however unfortunately timings cannot be confirmed due to when the delivery arrives on site. To guarantee a food bag, please collect a token by 9:30am on both days.
You will need to collect a food token at 9:30am on Wednesdays and Fridays. Food tokens can be collected on site from ‘The Lounge’ – opposite our Sports Hall entrance.
