Active Lincolnshire

Since it was founded in 2004, Active Lincolnshire has evolved from a sports partnership to an active partnership dedicated to helping improve the lives of Lincolnshire residents by advocating for the positive power of physical activity. We are committed to deliver the national Uniting the Movement strategy set out by Sport England at a local level, through the Let’s Move Lincolnshire initiative, owned by everyone and led by Active Lincolnshire.

Nationally, Active Partnerships (APs) are needed more than ever before. We play a local role in understanding, enabling, and connecting with our unique knowledge of our place as part of the national network of partnerships. We are funded by Sport England as a recognised system partner to deliver this role in Lincolnshire.

The greatest impact of our investment of time and resource will be seen through deep understanding of place and the people living there. As evidenced by the office for Health Improvement and Disparities, the greatest health benefits come from inactive people being ‘moderately’ (or fairly) active. However, there many cultural, social and economic barriers to making this a reality and the barriers and need differ greatly amongst our population and across our broad geography.
