Our Mission

Somerset Activity & Sports Partnership (SASP) works to improve the health and happiness of people in Somerset through physical activity and sport.

We focus on helping people move more in ways that fit their everyday lives, removing barriers to being active, and supporting communities to create positive, lasting change.

We do this by working with partners across Somerset to enable opportunities that are inclusive, accessible, and sustainable for people of all ages and abilities.

We Inspire

Addressing inequalities and removing barriers to physical activity and sport.
Supporting clubs, communities, schools and the workforce to embrace physical activity.
Bringing together organisations and partners to create positive change to enable active lives for all.

Our Values:

Passionate: We are passionate about the power of physical activity and sport to build communities and a sense of belonging to improve the quality of people's lives in Somerset.

Inclusive: We value differences, learn from experiences and welcome varying perspectives to deliver safe, meaningful and real opportunities in physical activity and sport for the people of Somerset.

Dedicated: We are dedicated to connecting Somerset residents to opportunities to be active in ways that feel good to them, offering the best chance to sustain their involvement in and enjoyment of moving.

Inspiring: We lead from within, uplifting communities and individuals to integrate physical activity into their work as an essential part of everyday life.
