Cheshire & Merseyside’s physical activity strategy for health and social care to support the subregion’s residents to become more physically active.

The strategy has been commissioned by the Cheshire and Merseyside’s Population Health Board and has been developed by the two Active Partnerships in the subregion, Active Cheshire and MSP, supported by Sport England.
All Together Active has been produced following an intensive consultation period with partners from across the public, private and third sector and sets out a number of approaches and initiatives to increase activity levels and create momentum and energy to ensure this goal is met.
The strategy has also been developed with health inequalities and the subregion’s All Together Fairer report from Professor Sir Michael Marmot in mind.
We want a Cheshire and Merseyside in which far fewer people suffer health inequalities resulting from physical inactivity.
OUR MISSION
is to reduce health inequalities by:
Encouraging and supporting
inactive people to move more
Removing barriers
to participation in physical activity
Increasing opportunities
to be physically active
Increasing opportunities
to get involved in sport
STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES
By 2026 we will:
Support our Places to further develop opportunities
to use physical activity as a way of improving population health.
Embed movement, physical activity and sport
within the Cheshire and Merseyside health and social care system.
Deliver measurable reductions
in health inequalities.
Empower 150,000 inactive people
to become more active.
