Active Together has appointed a new Chairperson and Vice-Chairperson as it continues to lead progress on making physical activity a part of everyday lives.
Andy Reed OBE picks up the baton from Mike Sandys DL, who last week stood down from the Board after achieving the maximum nine years of service permissible under Active Together's governance code.
Mr Reed will be supported by Tracy Bingham, who was confirmed as Vice-Chair during a vote among Board members at Sport Park in Loughborough on Friday.

We held our LLEP AGM and Board meeting this week at Charnwood Campus Science Innovation and Technology Park one of our amazing Enterprise Zones.
