Active Kent & Medway is one of 43 Active Partnerships in England and works collaboratively with local partners to ensure the power of physical activity and sport can transform lives.
Everyday Active is Active Kent & Medway’s flagship campaign, helping adults and families to be more active in their daily life. Whether it’s walking, dancing, gardening, housework, online exercise classes, or team sports like walking football or walking netball, any regular movement that requires the body to use energy can help to reduce the risk of serious health problems. Physical activity improves both physical and mental health, increasing people’s chances of living longer better.
To help you, your friends, family and service users to move more in everyday life, visit the Everyday Active website at everydayactivekent.org.uk. Explore Activities and visit Your Communities, a specific section dedicated to each district within Kent and Medway, listing some of the many activities going on. You can also reach out to the local Everyday Active Champion to find out more or contact Yasmin.hosken@kent.gov.uk.
Visit the Partner Hub for Everyday Active promotional material and a wealth of useful resources and information. Free Everyday Active Workshops are also available should you want to improve your knowledge and understanding of the benefits of physical activity and feel confident about having conversations with others, to help get more people active.
Virtual sessions are open to all or contact andrea.murphy@kent.gov.uk if you are interested in a closed workshop for your team or organisation.
