Summary:
Tyne & Wear Sport began to develop their Active Workplace programme in November 2013, following the appointment of a dedicated Workplace Activity Manager (WAM). The WAM began the planning process by contacting NGBs to find out which sports would like to be included in and promoted by the Active Workplace programme.
On launching in February 2014 Tyne & Wear Sport had 14 NGBs on board and by November 2015 the programmes popularity and effectiveness has seen it grow to engage with 32 NGBs (offering a total of 35 different sport and physical activity options to encourage workplace employees to get active).
