2026 marks five years of the We Can be Active Strategy for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight. A milestone made possible by the passion, commitment, and collaboration of people and organisations working towards a happier healthier future for local people. As we celebrate how far we’ve come, we’re also taking stock of what’s changing, what we’re learning, and where we’re collectively making the biggest difference.
We don’t want to give too much away… but you’ll find we’re on the right track and real change is happening for people using the strategy, and the people they are working to support.
In the report you’ll find
Hot on the heels of the We Can Be Active Strategy’s first impact report we’re bringing everyone together to collectively review and reshape the Strategy, so that it remains relevant and practical to use for the next five years.
The event will be interactive, with discussion, observations and input encouraged.
It is open to anyone, you do not need to have been involved in creating or using the We Can Be Active strategy previously, all that matters is you’re committed to supporting happier, healthier communities across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

Join us as we collectively shape the direction for the next five years of the We Can Be Active Strategy.
Visit siteThe impact report is based on 165 pieces evidence from 48 different people and organisations working across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.
Evidence was shared with Energise Me over the last 5 years through We Can Be Active Wins, blogs, case studies, surveys, reports and videos. Further evidence was submitted through an open call for evidence in March 2026. We also held 5 focus groups where people could share their observations on the Strategy’s impact so far.
We worked with external evaluators, 21 Artists, who coded all the evidence and helped us to understand the impact and insight you see in the report.
