Overview

Empowering Communities Through Physical Activity, Sport, and Education

At ActiveMe 360, we’re passionate about changing lives using the power of physical activity, sport, and education. Our partnership with Winchester City Council (WCC) brings that mission to life across the Winchester district. By working together, we’re delivering fun, engaging sports and physical activity programmes for children and young people aged 6-13, both during school terms and holidays, ensuring they have opportunities to be active throughout the year.

Why this partnership matters

There’s a growing need for accessible, community focused sport and physical activities, and this partnership helps meet that need by providing inclusive, high-quality programmes across the district. By teaming up with WCC, we’re contributing to their ‘Living Well’ priority as part of the Council Plan (2020-2025), with the aim of improving health, reducing inequalities, and creating safe, welcoming spaces for people to enjoy.

Making a difference

This partnership doesn’t just support WCC’s local goals-it also aligns with national strategies like Sporting Future and Sport England’s Uniting the Movement.

Delivering high-quality physical activity sessions across the Winchester district.

Increasing activity levels among children, especially those who are less active.

Supporting our shared vision of communities where people lead healthier, happier, more active lives.

Contributing to both local and national initiatives promoting sport and physical activity.
