Place-Based Approaches and Communities
Whilst many of we can move’s programmes can provide support across Gloucestershire, our place-based working is a more targeted approach, working with Sport England to build capacity and capability in local communities within Gloucestershire to reap the benefits of living more active lives
Place Universal Offer
Through our supported place universal offer investment with Sport England, we aim to help places develop their skills, knowledge and capacity to work in a place-based, whole system way to increase physical activity and decrease the inactivity gap.
The Place Universal Offer is a key part of Sport England’s strategy. It implements a proportionate universal way of supporting partners. The resources and support offered are scaled and proportionate to the level of local need and disadvantage.
Support across the county
Although we have targeted work in some communities, we also support wider place-based approaches through our learning reports, communities of practice, strengths based awareness sessions and whole systems approaches.
