Active Sussex

Active Sussex works to increase physical activity levels across Sussex Bay. We collaborate with partners to create conditions that allow everyone to live active and healthier lives. We aim to address inequality and empower everyone in Sussex to be active in a way that works for them.

To address barriers to movement and physical activity, we ensure activities are localised to help make it easier and more appealing to be active. This includes working with various sectors, groups and partners who want similar outcomes, such as the charitable, community and voluntary sectors, including our activity providers: our health and care partnerships and networks; those who support children and young people both within and outside educational settings; our local authorities, including public health and wellbeing teams; parks and open spaces; leisure trusts and the gatekeepers to outdoor spaces.

We also now have a commitment to Environmental Social Governance. We ensure the impact on stakeholders, wider society, and the environment is factored into our decision-making process. We are currently discovering how we can support creating and protecting places and spaces that make it easier for people to be active while advocating for improved access to quality blue and green spaces.

Sussex Bay and Active Sussex are exploring collaboration across the region.
