Active Local

What is Active Local? 

Active Local is Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership’s collaborative place-based initiative. It supports targeted communities in highlighting their strengths, whilst also responding to local need and identifying where support, intervention or extra capacity could help create a more joined-up approach to tackling inequalities and reducing physical inactivity.   

Adopting Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) principles, we seek to use sport and physical activity to address inactivity, social disadvantage, and health inequalities within targeted communities. The below areas have been selected using Sport England's Place Need Classification which looks at datasets of health inequalities, inactivity levels and the Index of Multiple Deprivation (IMD).
