Place Partnerships
We believe everyone should have the chance to lead an active, healthy life – no matter who they are or where they live. But we know that isn’t always the case. In some areas, especially where people face challenges like poverty, poor health or isolation, it’s much harder to be active. That’s why we’re working in a new way: Place Partnerships.
What are Place Partnerships?
Place Partnerships focus resources and effort on the communities that face the greatest inequalities and need the most support to become more active.
This approach is rooted in listening to communities, building trust, and supporting local people who know their areas best.
We know that many things can make it harder for people to be active, including safety concerns, family commitments, money worries, limited public transport, and the cost of childcare.
Addressing these barriers takes long-term collaboration between local organisations and services, including councils, schools, the NHS, charities, community groups, and sports clubs.
Together, we are creating the conditions that help people move more, feel better, and live well.
Our Place Partnership work is funded by The National Lottery and Sport England.
