Meet the We Can Be Active Champions

Working across all areas in the physical activity sector, We Can Be Active Champions are a network of individuals who come together to share advice, ideas and knowledge to influence the We Can Be Active Strategy.

They are a group of people who are promoting and supporting people to become more physically active in their local communities.  Some deliver activity directly while others support those that do. Simply put, we couldn’t do it with out them!
