Objectives

Together Active (formerly known as Sport Across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent) is a local charity which forms part of a national network of 43 Active Partnerships. We are funded by Sport England, our local authorities and our universities.

As a strategic organisation, we work behind the scenes to create the conditions for physical activity and sport to happen across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent. We do this by coordinating and commissioning programmes, providing information, advice and guidance and working lobbying and influencing systems to create change. The essence of what we do is joining dots, driving improvement and sparking collaborations.

Over the next four years Together Active will dedicate itself to inactive people. We will have a focus on those facing financial disadvantage and those with health conditions and disabilities.

For young people, we will also include those in care and criminal justice systems. This will require us to work differently, realigning 80% of all of our investment to these populations.

We will foster relationships with new partners to bring us closer to our key objectives:

 

  1. To drive systems leadership that results in physical activity & sport becoming a core feature in policy.
  2. To work with health partners to advocate for physical activity & sport as a tool to prevent and manage health conditions.
  3. In partnership tackle systemic inequalities in physical activity and sport participation.
  4. To support individuals to add healthy years to their lives through positive physical activity behaviours.
