The Active Together Annual Review of 2021/22 is here!

Our Annual Review highlights our key achievements over the past year and what we have done in partnership to encourage the communities in Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland to be physically active and move more.

Here's just a snippet of the key headline facts and figures outlined in the report:

• 41,563 young people participated in level 2 and level 3 School Games and Team Leicestershire events of whom 3,011 were disabled young athletes

• 2,875 young people participated in Holiday Activities and Food programmes across 122 venues in Leicestershire. 86% of participants were eligible for free school meals

• £76,079 was invested into 21 organisations through Sport England's Tackling Inequalities Fund, to support communities be physically active

The report showcases the wide range of people, programmes and partners that have come together over the last year. From the St Matthews police officer who formed a community running group and our Let's Get Moving Champions highlighting the benefits of being active to walking and nature groups, there is a wide range of inspiring stories to read.

Bev Smith, Chair of Active Together Board, highlights in the report that,

"Numerous such strides forward have been made. But we are not complacent. Our 10-year Physical Activity Framework, published this year, sets out a host of challenges as well as opportunities. Communities can be complex to reach. So what are we doing about it? What have we achieved? The following pages offer you a starter of the difference our people and partners are making in our places."

We hope you enjoy the success stories and the overall impact towards a more active Leicester-Shire & Rutland!
