What is an Active Partnership?

Active Together forms part of a network of 43 Active Partnerships, who are locally-led, non-profit, strategic organisations covering the whole of England, bringing together people and partners to increase physical activity levels.

Active Together (hosted by Leicestershire County Council) works with local system partners to lead the strategic direction and delivery of physical activity. We work collaboratively with a range of sectors and partners across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland with a shared ambition to reduce inequality of access to physical activity and help our communities realise the many health and social benefits of living an active life.

Active Partnerships like Active Together have been set up by Sport England as the delivery system for the development of sport and physical activity at a county level, ensuring national resources have local reach.
