Get Active: a physical activity strategy for North Somerset

The physical activity strategy sets out our vision, shared outcomes, and key themes for physical activity across North Somerset. It runs until 2028.

It aims to provide North Somerset residents with the opportunities to be physically active now and in the future.

Main priorities

The strategy and action plan are centred around four shared outcomes:

  • active places - we will support and develop built and natural community assets that support and facilitate every day physical activity for everyone
  • active communities - we will support and develop community led initiatives to increase physical activity levels
  • healthy people - we will provide more opportunities for all to participate in physical activity as part of everyday life
  • partnerships and working together - we will improve partnership working to increase physical activity opportunities

Within these approaches, we will address the following key themes:

  • built environment 
  • natural environment
  • connectivity and travel 
  • target groups 
  • accessibility
  • behavioural influences 
  • activities and promotion 
  • funding and resources

The strategy and action plan address these themes across all areas of life, from children and young people, to adults and older people.
