Here is an article by London 2012's Inside The Games magazine highlighting NGB Parkour UK and the PKGen coaching team launching the PK Peers programme in Trafalgar Square recently, via the Youth Sport Trust Matalan Sporting Promise Programme. The PK Peers programme is an intiative to encourage and develop young practitioners of parkour in schools across the country through giving them leadership skills and supporting roles within training sessions.

Today saw us at the forefront of the Matalan Sporting Promise event in Trafalgar Square as one of only three physical disciplines chosen to represent the nationwide campaign. We were there on behalf of NGB Parkour UK as its official delivery agent, running workshops for young people in a purpose-built facility right in the centre of the square, and the day was a great success. 

On Thursday March 22nd we will have a team of coaches at theMatalan Sporting Promise event in Trafalgar Square, running workshops and continuing to support the intitiative as we have since its inception through NGB Parkour UK.

UK NGB, Parkour UK, has been working for some time now with the Matalan-sponsored UK-wide initiative, the Matalan Sporting Promise, a fantastic project which aims to get more young people back into sports by introducing them to non-traditional physical activities - with parkour being one of the nine activities chosen.
