ActiveMe 360 is proud to be founded as a ‘Community Interest Company’ (CIC), or more commonly known as a Social Enterprise.

Social enterprises are businesses that are changing the world for the better. Like traditional businesses they aim to make a profit but it’s what they do with their profits that sets them apart – reinvesting or donating them to create positive social change.  

As a proud Social Enterprise we ensure 65% of profits we make are reinvested back into local communities to encourage positive social change for your children and your family. Meaning when you choose us, your community benefits.

To find out more visit www.socialenterprise.org.uk.

Everything we do must comply with the rules, operations and definitions of a CIC (a.k.a. a Social enterprise). We are required by law to submit an annual report that details the activities we have undertaken and how this has directly benefited the community. As a CIC we must ensure at least 65% of any profits we make are reinvested back into your community or into the company to benefit the communities we serve. One of our founding principles is to be transparent in everything we do, which is why all our reports are available for you to see on our website.

To be a CIC (a.k.a. a Social Enterprise) we legally have to reinvest at least 65% of any profits we make back into the communities we serve. Your community.

We achieve this by:

1. Reinvesting directly into our communities using the power of physical activity, sport and education to tackle an array of social issues. To find out more, click here.
2. Reinvesting back into the company to benefit our communities, for example in employing new team members to develop, manage or deliver targeted projects.

In keeping with our aims as a social enterprise, it has always been our ambition to not only invest in and care for our communities, but also the people who make ActiveMe 360 what it is.

Becoming a real living wage employer means that we have committed  to ensuring everyone over the age of 18 who works for ActiveMe 360 receives at least the real living wage, calculated and based on what people need to live, taking into account multiple factors that the Government calculation doesn’t.

As part of our commitment as a social enterprise to reinvest in the communities we work in, we’ve developed a green strategy to help us reduce our impact on the environment and make informed decisions that work to tackle the climate crisis. Setting a clear vision and strategy ultimately enables us to make better decisions that align with our wider company goals and reduces the negative impact we leave on our planet.

We are the first education and sports provider in Hampshire to offset our carbon footprint from service delivery, ensuring when you work with us there is no adverse environmental impact.

In our multi-phase green strategy, we will be starting with offsetting our travel carbon footprint. Being a part of a service led industry means our team travel far and wide to continue our mission. It’s a part of the job that we love as it means meeting new people and working in new communities to improve the physical, mental and social health and wellbeing of children and young people.

But it also means our travel carbon footprint can get pretty big. Our green strategy officially launched on April 22^nd 2022, however, our tracking started from January 1^st. From this date, and every month following, our team will record their mileage so we know our carbon footprint.

Every quarter, we will review these miles and then purchase the relevant number of trees and invest in worldwide projects that will offset this carbon footprint. We will do this through social enterprise and environmental organisation, Ecologi.

Absolutely not. We understand not everyone likes sport which is why we aim to have a number of alternative services and projects to keep you active, healthy, and enhance your wellbeing. 

Wellness is an active process of becoming aware of and making choices toward a healthy and fulfilling life. It is more than being free from illness, it is a process of change and growth.

The National Wellness Institute defines it as “…a state of complete physical, mental and social wellbeing.”

Physical wellbeing is about maintaining a healthy body through regular physical activity or exercise, eating well,  getting enough sleep and paying attention to signs of illness and seeking help when needed. The physical benefits of feeling good often lead to psychological benefits of enhanced self-esteem, self-confidence, control and determination.

Mental wellbeing relates to understanding and managing your feelings and how this may impact on behaviours, including the degree to which a person feels positive and enthusiastic about themselves and their life.

The World Health Organisation defines it as;

“Mental health is not just the absence of mental disorder. It is defined as a state of well-being in which every individual realizes his or her own potential, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully, and is able to make a contribution to her or his community.”

We can improve our mental wellbeing by developing positive and creative thinking, self-motivation, developing resilience and perseverance, managing emotions, building confidence and self-esteem. 

Social Wellbeing is the extent to which you feel a sense of belonging and social inclusion. Lifestyles, ways of living together, value systems, traditions and beliefs are all important to our social wellbeing and quality of life.  

We can improve our social wellbeing by improving our social skills such as communication, building strong and positive relationships, teamwork, decision making, being responsible, being independent, problem solving and conflict resolution.

Active living is a way of life that integrates physical activity into your everyday routine, essential for physical and mental health and wellbeing – the more we do the more we benefit. The Chief Medical Officer recommends children and young people should engage in at least 60 minutes moderate to vigorous intensity physical activity each day, whilst adults should engage in at least 30 minutes per day.

Healthy living is about eating well, with a varied diet to meet our energy needs and support our active lifestyle.

Leading an active and healthy lifestyle is proven to support and improve physical and mental wellbeing, the benefits of which can also enhance social wellbeing.
