Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire
Non-profit
We have been established to be the strategic lead for Sport & Physical Activity across Herefordshire and Worcestershire. Our vision is to create a healthier and more active two counties.
A not for profit organisation we are part of a network of Active Partnerships across England. We work with the eight local authorities, the two public health teams, Sport England, the University of Worcester, National Governing Bodies of Sports (NGBs) and other key organisations.
Our purpose is to create a healthier Herefordshire & Worcestershire by harnessing the power of physical activity, focussing on those populations that are the least engaged and would most benefit from regular opportunities. Source
