How can you get involved?

Join we can move and our approach to being physically active.

 

We’re people, influencers and leaders across our communities. Collectively, working together to take action and encourage more people to lead more active and healthier lives.

 

We believe we're stronger together and that everyone has something to offer. What part will you play?

 

We believe that active people need an active world to live in. We can't keep doing the same things and hope they will help everyone. Traditional health campaigns encourage us to be more active, but there is little evidence that they work. Increasing sport is more likely to help those of us who are better off and already somewhat active, leaving the rest of us further behind. We have to think differently.

 

We need local support groups, opportunities to be active, better designed towns and health services that help us to get moving, and workplaces that don’t force us to sit all day. Most of all, it means working out together what needs to change and making it happen, so physical activity becomes a normal part of everyday life.
