Creating Active Communities Conference 2019

Delivering a New Approach, in The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester, 2nd May 2019. The members of a community are the most valuable resource in shaping successful local programmes.

Sport England have invested around £100m into 12 grassroots projects in order to build healthier, more active communities across England.

The Local Delivery Pilots will be used to trial new and innovative solutions that make it easier for people in these communities to access sport and physical activity. It is hoped that via this bold approach, barriers are removed and new collaborative partnerships are formed.

The Creating Active Communities Conference will take an in-depth look into the local delivery challenge. Our speakers will reveal the uncomfortable truths which lead to a sedentary lifestyle whilst highlighting successful projects that are working to increasing activity for all across our towns and cities.

In addition, our many industry partners will be on hand to network and share solutions in the areas of;

Transport links and street lighting

Parks and open spaces

Volunteering

Indoor and outdoor Facilities

Co-Location

Collaborative working

Finance and funding

GP referrals and social prescribing

Our cross sector audience will consist of professionals from central and local government, further and higher education, NHS, County Sports Partnerships, National Governing Bodies, community groups, emergency services, the third sector and the private sector.
