Victoria and Daniel visited today Fritidsbanken and Steningehöjden's school in Sigtuna. Fritidsbanken is one of the organizations which got a grant from The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation for 2022.
Fritidsbanken is like a library, but with sports and outdoor gear. There you can borrow equipment for active leisure, such as skis, ice skates, life jackets, tents, balls of various kinds, clubs, fishing rods, football boots, helmets and much more. The loan period is 14 days.
With them Victoria and Daniel had Nahal Illerstig from The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation.

"Today Fritidsbanken had the great pleasure of welcoming the Crown Princess Couple to @fritidsbankensigtuna. The visit was made together with the Crown Princess Couple Foundation's youth council and they were told, among other things, how things are going with our school initiative. Fritidsbanken's initiator Carina Haak was there and told about how the idea came about ten years ago
The visit then continued to Steningehöjden's school, where Class 9C got to play goalball with Crown Princess Victoria and Floorcurling with Prince Daniel. Many nice meetings, interesting conversations and great laughs."

"The Crown Princess couple visiting
Today, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel visited Fritidsbanken Sigtuna and tried goalball and floor curling together with students from class 9C at Steningehöjden's school. The Crown Princess couple are very committed to promoting good health for all children and young people in Sweden and through their foundation they provide support to projects that will contribute to making leisure activities more accessible to everyone. Goalball and floorcurling are sports that everyone can participate in, including people with disabilities."

The students at Steningehöjden's school tried out para sports together with Victoria and Daniel. Just like Victoria and Daniel, Sigtuna municipality wants everyone to be able to have an active leisure time regardless of disability. They have started a new venture called Sigtuna Funkis, so that people with disabilities will have a larger and more easily accessible range of leisure activities. The goal is for everyone to have the opportunity to find a regular activity.
The students in class 9C got to try floor curling and the para sport goalball, activities that should be able to be practiced by the vast majority. The equipment is brand new and borrowed from Fritidsbanken. The Crown Princess Couple's Foundation provides, among other things, financial support to Fritidsbanken Sverige, which over the years has bought in more material for para sports. The aim is for leisure activities to become more accessible to everyone.

The court about the visit
Victoria and Daniel began their visit to Fritidsbanken in Märsta. Fritidsbanken collects sports and outdoor equipment and lends it, much like a library. Fritidsbanken started in 2013 and is currently available in over 100 locations in the country.
During 2022, Fritidsbanken will implement a pilot project, Lekoteket, with support from the Crown Princess Couple's Foundation. The purpose of Lekoteket is to let students run their own Fritidsbanken at schools where the equipment is loaned out during breaks.
The visit continued at Steningehöjden's school, where class 9C, which regularly uses Fritidsbanken, demonstrated two parasport activities goalball and floorcurling.
