Moving More Activity Finder

What is the Moving More Activity Finder?

The Moving More Activity Finder is an online tool helping people in Hertfordshire to find, and book, local physical activity opportunities.

How does it work?

The Activity Finder uses the power of open data to identify, collect and publish details of physical activity opportunities in one, easy to search place. From entry level walking groups walking groups to high intensity training bootcamps, all kinds of organisations can publish data for their sessions so there is something for everyone.

Better yet, you can refine your search by activity, location, date, time, cost, age appropriateness, level of physical exertion, accessibility and gender; so it’s never been easier to find the right activity for you, or someone you are close to. To do this, simply search your location above and change the filters in the new window that will pop up. Alternatively, you can see more about the tool on the Moving More website.

Who leads Moving More?

The Moving More Activity Finder is led by the Herts Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (HSP). HSP are also incredibly thankful to our partners Hertfordshire County Council who fund the tool, as well as the HertsOne GP Federation who help fund the Project Officer who is busy working on the tool behind the scenes.

Why should I open my physical activity session data?

The Moving More Activity Finder is fast becoming the ‘go to’ place for those looking for new physical activity opportunities in Hertfordshire. Whether it’s a member of the public or someone supporting them, opening your session data is all about making your activities and sessions easier for people to find, increasing your session participation numbers and helping Hertfordshire to start moving more.

So if you, or your organisation, are delivering physical activity opportunities in Hertfordshire, opening your session data is an easy way to extend your reach to new audiences and improve your participation numbers.

Better yet, opening your session data doesn’t only advertise your session on the Moving More Activity Finder but also any other relevant open data powered search tools. Other examples of search tools.
