Forever Fit: An insight led approach to supporting older adults move more
THE COLLABORATORS EVERYONE ACTIVE Our Community Health & Wellbeing Strategy aligns with the UK Chief Medical Officers physical activity guidelines, Sport England's 'Uniting the movement' objectives, and the NHS long term plan. It addresses health disparities exacerbated by global and national events like the pandemic, climate change, and the cost-of-living crisis. Everyone Active's Community Health and Wellbeing Strategy offers tailored programs to meet local council partners' priorities. We aim to integrate community health and wellbeing into our actions, creating social value. Collaboration with Integrated Care Systems helps us address real-time challenges. We promise to adapt and respond to changing community needs by increasing physical activity, reducing social isolation, and preventing further health inequalities, ultimately supporting the NHS and enhancing the overall health and happiness of our communities. YOU VE GOT THIS We are proud to be part of Sport England's Place Partnerships initiative (LDPs), one of twelve dynamic programmes aimed at tackling the issue of physical inactivity and fostering active communities.
