Active Gloucestershire Children and Young People Impact Report 2022

Active Gloucestershire is the countywide active partnership and backbone organisation for the 'we can move' social movement, working to increase physical activity among the least active people in Gloucestershire. This 2022 children and young people impact report covers its shift from direct delivery to a systems change role — connecting commissioners, schools, NHS services and community organisations to create sustainable behaviour change. Key outcomes include coordinating the Holiday Activities and Food Programme for 13,000 vulnerable children, securing £131,300 in school facility grants, training 36 staff in 31 schools in yoga, and piloting physical activity on referral through the Young Minds Matter NHS pathway. Key figures from the report: £50,000 secured for Play Nurture Plus programme training staff across 20 schools; £7,000 co-funded for countywide yoga offer in partnership with Gloucestershire Healthy Living and Learning.
