Active Essex: Active Essex is the Physical Activity and Sport Partnership for Greater Essex. It was formed in 2013 and continues to deliver a lasting legacy to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. In June 2017, Active Essex launched a new four year strategy to tackle the issues around inactivity and change 1 million lives by getting Essex active. Currently 22% of the population across the county are classified as inactive at a cost to the NHS of £58m a year. To achieve these ambitious targets we will focus on four main priorities: to drive and sustain participation in physical activity; improve health and wellbeing amongst specific groups who are currently inactive; develop the people and organisations who work or volunteer in the sector and strengthen local partnerships and networks. Essex has been selected by Sport England to take part in a new pioneering programme aimed at increasing participation in sport and physical activity and supercharging people’s attitudes to make being active ‘the norm’.
