Place Partnerships
Sport England is investing in local communities, specifically in those places where it is hardest to be active.
Physical activity is vital for our physical and mental health, from walking to work to playing sports with friends.
But not all of us have the same opportunities to be active.
When children don’t have safe spaces to run and play, when adults are working long hours and constantly worrying about making ends meet, it makes it harder to be active and healthy.
Through placed-based working we can work deeply in a place, developing meaningful partnerships with communities and the organisations that support them – this is why we are calling the work ‘Place Partnerships’. With these partnerships in place we can better co-design opportunities which make it easier for residents to be active when they step out of their homes.
To achieve this, we need to:
Work together, from community members to voluntary organisations, to local government
Build networks and develop relationships in place
Break down barriers that get in the way of being active
Strengthen communities in a way that is reflective of their unique needs, relationships and geography
