From a thoughtful coach to a friendly receptionist, the workforce can transform our experiences of physical activity and sport and keep us coming back.
We talk about the workforce as anyone who supports the delivery of physical activity and sport. This could be coaches, volunteers, leisure centre staff, teachers, health professionals or even local authority officers who influence what happens in places.
If you share our passion for getting people moving more then we are here to support you.
To inspire more people to move, it helps to understand what gets in the way and what could make activity feel possible, safe and enjoyable.
Our Insight Hub is full of useful research and local data to help you better connect with and support those who are least active.
Our News and Stories section is full of real-life stories from people who have overcome their barriers to get active. As well as physical activity updates.
We want to make sure our local workforce has the skills, confidence and support they need to engage underrepresented groups. But we are also passionate about nurturing a workforce that is more reflective of local communities.
Through initiatives such as Project 500 and Pride In Our Workforce, we are helping to diversify the workforce and helping communities see physical activity is for everybody.
Whether you’re delivering activities in the community or looking to improve wellbeing in the workplace, our toolkits are here to help you take action.
