Cycling our way into June

About Us
Our vision is for a Cornwall where inequalities are no longer a barrier to an active life.
We champion the benefits of incorporating movement and physical activity into everyday life, focusing on those facing the most significant inequalities. Sharing our unique insights, knowledge and resources, we work collaboratively with others to influence policy and help integrate activity into education, healthcare and community life.Â
We are one of 43 independent Active Partnerships in England, collaborating with national partners and ‘Uniting the Movement’ for Sport England in Cornwall, tackling inactivity and reducing inequalities.
In partnership with the NHS, Cornwall Council and local delivery partners, we strategically commission and build quality-assured capacity in priority places for those who need our support the most. By connecting with communities, we tackle barriers that prevent people from leading more active lives, powering positive and sustainable change at scale, and influencing active environments.
Research shows that physical activity plays a crucial role in preventing illness and managing long term health conditions, and being active can reduce the risk of major illnesses and early death by 30%. However, 49% of children in Cornwall do not meet the recommended physical activity guidelines, especially those from less affluent families or with special educational needs and disabilities. Our ageing and minority populations are increasing, and economic disparities are growing, leading to more inequality and less activity.
With a focus on children, young people and older adults, we support those who need the most help to move more and live well for longer. Delivering national initiatives at a local level, we also deliver programmes where gaps in the market otherwise remain.
