Summary:
Leicester-Shire &Rutland Sport (working with and on behalf of partners) were successful in obtaining a grant from Sport England’s Get Healthly Get Active Fund to support the delivery of a project across two areas; New Parks (Leicester City) and Greenhill & Agar Nook (North West Leicestershire).
The project was initiated by two Public Health departments (Leicester City and Leicestershire) wanting to collaborate with LRS to develop a joint physical activity project where collectively there was engagement with National Governing Bodies and other Sporting Organisations to deliver on local health priorities. The funding is currently being used to work within the identified target areas to provide tailored mentoring and group support to help people within the communities make sustained improvements to their physical activity levels.
