The contribution of physical activity and sport on health, wellbeing, economic recovery and growth is extensive, and covers a number of different areas of work. This includes using it as a vehicle to increase employability and inclusive growth, by improving skills & health with people currently furthest from the labour market.

Active Lancashire and Somerset Activity & Sports Partnership (SASP) are two Active Partnerships that have both embedded working with those most at risk of health inequalities into their work streams. Active Lancashire are part of a well-established collaborative partnership which has delivered health and economic outcomes for deprived people of Lancashire for over 8 years. They are a lead partner working with local organisations to support improvements in health and economic outcomes locally.

Their work has subsequently inspired SASP to follow in their footsteps, using the power of sport and physical activity to give those most at risk of health inequalities a sense of purpose, structure in their week, a sense of connectedness and develop new and exciting partnerships which embed the wider benefits of sport and physical activity across their local areas.
