About Us

Who we are

We’re the strategic lead for physical activity and sport across Lancashire, working with partners and communities to create a fairer, healthier and more active county.

We believe everyone should have the opportunity to move more, live well and thrive — whatever their background, ability or circumstances.

We bring people together, build relationships and connect local insight with wider ambition. We’re here to support the great work already happening across Lancashire, share what we learn and help create the conditions for lasting change.

Our work is guided by a simple belief: movement can transform lives, strengthen communities and improve the places where we live.

What we do

Physical activity sits at the heart of healthier people, stronger communities and more sustainable places. Our role is to help make movement part of everyday life.

We work across Lancashire to:

  • Tackle inequalities by focusing on communities and people who face the greatest barriers to being active.
  • Bring people and organisations together to create shared ambition, build trust and collaborate on local challenges.
  • Support communities and places to develop solutions that reflect local needs, cultures and lived experience.
  • Embed movement into systems including health, education, planning and employment.
  • Support children and young people to develop positive relationships with movement from an early age.
  • Create more active environments by championing accessible green and blue spaces, active travel and places that make it easier to move.
  • Share learning and support innovation, helping successful approaches grow and have a wider impact.

Work with us

Change happens when we work together.

We know we can’t create a more active Lancashire alone. Our role is to connect, enable and amplify the people and organisations already making a difference.

Whether you’re a local authority, health or care organisation, school, community group, business, volunteer or another organisation working to improve lives across Lancashire, we’d love to work with you.

We can support you through:

Collaboration & networking
Connect with others, share ideas and build partnerships around common goals.

Facilitation & capacity building
Access practical support, expertise and people who can help turn ideas into action.

Leadership development
Build the confidence, skills and leadership needed to create lasting change.

Tools, resources & support
Access practical approaches and resources that can help you make physical activity part of everyday life.

Evaluation & learning
Understand what works, learn from experience and use insight to improve and grow your impact.

Our approach is about Engage, Empower and Enable — bringing people together, supporting communities to lead and helping individuals live more active, healthy lives.

We are better together

No one organisation can create lasting change alone. By working together we can build stronger connections, remove barriers and help more people enjoy the benefits of being active.
