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.
