Get Active, a physical activity strategy for North Somerset, sets out the priorities for physical activity in North Somerset over the next five years, supported by the vision:
'Every person has the opportunity to get moving, be active, and enjoy a healthier life in their local community'.
Moving more as part of everyday life is seen as a key part of our physical and mental wellbeing. It supports us to learn, work and enjoy life to the full. Our population is ageing, people are living inactive lives and health inequalities have increased.
Funding has been set aside for a small grant programme. This will allow local community groups and non-profit organisations to apply for funding to help achieve the goals of the strategy and action plan.
The total fund is £63,000. We are inviting proposals for actions, programmes or interventions that will help to achieve our aims. Individual proposals may have a value of up to £2,000.
