Our work across Derbyshire and Notts
Our role is to work alongside local people and partner organisations to understand what matters in their community and how physical activity can become part of everyday life.
We support people to come together around a common purpose. By building on what’s already there and backing local ambition, we use Sport England investment to create lasting change that makes it easier for more people to be active and connected. This is alongside our existing place-based work in our Place Partnerships.
There are currently 12 communities experiencing inequalities where there is the capacity, energy, and local infrastructure to collaborate on Place Universal Offer investment from Sport England and the National Lottery. Together with residents and other partners, we’ve developed bespoke plans and proposals for each place.
As these collaborations progress, we’ll share updates, data, and learning. In the mean time, summaries can be found below.
