How do we deliver? Active Together.

This strategic framework sets out our message about the importance of physical activity*.

Physical activity is an essential tool in supporting people to live healthier, happier lives. It delivers positive societal outcomes - for example in improving mental health - while reducing negatives such as social isolation and the carbon footprint.

The Framework was launched at the Active Together Conference on 7th April 2022.

The framework is unique in its ambition to reach those who find it most difficult to be physically active. By identifying the key values, principles and priorities necessary for our sector to raise physical activity levels, we can build greater capacity. In building capacity, we can reduce inequality while working alongside partners in the services they provide to local communities.

The framework is a call for partners working across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland to join us in thinking differently as we collaborate in using policy and practice to reduce physical inactivity and reduce inequality. We all have a role to play.

*The term physical activity, when used in this document should be recognised as embracing physical activity, sport and everyday movement.

Visit to Blaby District Council

Off the back of the Anthropy UK message to "leave your ego and silo at the door" I am trying to work across key partners and stakeholders across the City County and Rutland to generate greater collaboration and system thinking for our 1 million residents!

So today it was interesting to speak to the leadership at Blaby DC about their vision and plans in my roles Leicester and Leicestershire Business and Skills Partnership and Active Together (Top points for having the video on in reception to encourage people to move! with some top tips for elderly residents!) Thanks to Cllr Ben Taylor for the invite.

Sporting Equals Awards - London

It’s always a honour to be invited by Sporting Equals especially to last night’s Awards in London.

But I’m struck by the balance between celebration and the reality of our current climate. In the last 9 years of being involved in the event the need for the work od SE is even greater sadly. Progress isn’t always linear
