Making our Move

We are Active Derbyshire and Active Notts and we’re here to empower people to be active in a way that works for them.  We do that by working with others to address inequality and sharing opportunities and ways to move more.

We’re part of the network of Active Partnerships covering the whole of England and supported by Sport England.  We work with many organisations and groups across our cities and counties to support and empower our communities.

I’d like to move more

If you want to move more or find groups or opportunities to be active, you’ll find this information here:

We believe everyone has a role to play in supporting people to be more active.  If you want to find a way to support people to be active or already play that role, you can find this information here:
