We want to build, improve and deliver opportunities for all ages to be active in the place where they live

The Active Communities Team supports, empowers and provides opportunities for residents, groups, schools and communities to be physically, mentally and socially active.

Working within a place and needs-based model we:

  • Connect residents and community activity
  • Build opportunities for clubs and groups
  • Develop more active communities, places and networks
  • Deliver fun, impactful activities to improve health and wellbeing for all.
