Somerset Moves - 'Enabling Active Lives For All'
Somerset Moves is our system-wide, multi-agency strategy for developing physical activity and sport across Somerset. It brings together people, communities, and organisations from every sector and place across the county, working towards a shared goal: helping more people move more and improve their lives.
The importance of Somerset Moves
In Somerset, nearly a quarter of adults are inactive, and activity levels among children and young people have declined in recent years. Somerset Moves responds to these challenges by focusing on the barriers people face and creating the conditions that make being active easier and more accessible.
Building the Strategy
Developed during 2021 and 2022, the strategy is shaped by insight from local communities, partner organisations, and evidence of what helps people to be active. It also reflects changes in national and local priorities, including health and social care reform and Sport England’s 10-year vision for sport and physical activity.
