About Active Together

Formerly known as Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport (LRS)

Active Together

Our Vision:
Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland; a place where physical activity is part of daily life, leading to people living healthier and happier lives.

Active Together are here to make physical activity and sport more accessible and part of our everyday lives.

Active Together is the Active Partnership for Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland, and our focus is to ensure that physical activity resources have a local reach.

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.

For our Leicestershire, Leicester & Rutland Residents

Active Together are here to help you to move a little more, in your own way.

We work with many organisations across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland to support you on your journey to being healthier and happier, by moving more.

For our Partners

Active Together are here to help organisations and individuals support more people to be active and move more.

We have created an effective local infra-structure, working with key stakeholders (such as the county / district / borough local authorities) to facilitate the sharing of ideas, resources, and capacity to deliver successful physical activity programmes.
