We’re so pleased that Sport England is investing in place partnership work. Active Notts/Active Derbyshire have been working in this way, with communities right across our city and county for a number of years with Sport England’s support. This is set out in our vision Making our Move. We work alongside health, local authority, education, community and the voluntary sector to empower people to be active in a way that works for them.
We know that moving more, from walking to work, to playing sport with friends is vital for our physical and mental health. 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. By working in one place, in genuine partnership with communities, we can provide support to lighten the load and co-design solutions which make it easier to be active where people live. This is our place work and will be determined by communities and their needs.
This commitment to addressing this inequality is at the heart of what we do and Sport England are reinforcing and expanding on their commitment to place based work and supporting our collective work locally.
