Active Lancashire is the strategic lead for sport and physical activity in Lancashire.
It exists to connect with like-minded local organisations and individuals in order to help bring about active lifestyles. Nationally, it is one of the many Sport England-led Active Partnerships that drive a sports delivery system across the country.
Active Lancashire believes that sport and physical activity have the power to influence behaviours and develop skills which can have a broader, positive impact on people’s lives, including in the workplace.
Through its Business Health Matters, a ground-breaking programme that aims to build a healthier workforce across Lancashire and beyond, it supports local businesses in improving the physical and mental health of their employees so that staff are happier, healthier and more resilient. Healthier working-aged individuals, who are given opportunities to upskill, remain in employment and live longer, happier lives.
Businesses benefit from this with increased productivity and sustained workforces, resulting in reduced absence costs and lower staff turnover rates.
