Active Cumbria

Active Cumbria works in partnership with a wide range of organisations with a shared vision of increasing participation in physical activity and sport.

Their Five Year Plan provides  a framework which helps inform decision-making around effort and investment, and has been developed in partnership with their Advisory Board and wider sector partners to reflect the key challenges that increased levels of physical activity can contribute and support to improve the health and wellbeing of our communities.

Tackling inequalities in participation in sport and physical activity is at the heart of the Plan, and aligns with the ambitions of Sport England’s 10 Year Strategy "Uniting the Movement’"which can be viewed here.

Let's Move!

Let’s Move! will deliver meaningful change by embedding physical activity into local systems, policies, and community infrastructure across Barrow-in-Furness. It aims to reduce inactivity, improve health outcomes, and address inequalities through:

• Collaboration and Networking
• System Leadership
• Test and Learn Approaches
• System Change
• Evaluation and Learning

Through Let’s Move!, Active Cumbria will strengthen local leadership, align priorities, and create a joined-up approach that makes physical activity a normal part of everyday life across Westmorland and Furness.

The principles and approach to the Let’s Move! work in Barrow-in-Furness will build on the learning and development of the Let’s Move! approach in Maryport, Workington and Whitehaven.
