At Stride Active we want to inspire active futures. Put simply, we want to ensure that all young people have the opportunity to be physically active and most importantly, enjoy it! We are the only organisation in Herefordshire dedicated to young people’s physical activity. As experts in in PE, school sport and physical activity, we advocate the benefits of this to support all young people, be it physically, mentally or socially. It is our belief that if we can create the right experiences for children, they will remain active throughout their adult lives.
In Herefordshire, only 1 in 5 children and young people achieve Chief Medical Officer guidelines of 60 active minutes every day. We want to change this. By working with others, we hope to inspire children to be active now and in their futures.
We pride ourselves on working locally and flexibly. We know that each school, professional, organisation and young person has their own needs; consequently, we tailor our support to meet this. This approach helps to ensure, that together, we can improve outcomes for the young people.
On 15th April 2020 Stride Active (Herefordshire) Community Interest Company was registered. This is a new branch of our existing not-for-profit organisation, which will enable us to become more community focussed.
