Lets Get Moving North West Leicestershire

We should all aim to do some type of physical activity everyday to reduce our risk of developing several diseases. Being active is great for the body, mind and overall health. 

One aim of the North West Leicestershire Health and Wellbeing Team is to improve the health of residents by increasing physical activity opportunities. Access our physical activity service. Let's Get Moving encourages every person to move more, do what they enjoy in bite size chunks. Take a look at our Lets Get Moving Page to recieve information and support with how you can get more active. 

Sport Development

Our Sports Development Officer co-ordinates and supports the work of the Local Sports Alliance which aims to get more people participating in sport, using sport as a tool to help tackle health inequalities, and supporting local sports clubs, athletes and volunteers to continually develop. We also work with partners to ensure the delivery of the NWL Playing Pitch Strategy and NWL Sports and Recreation Facilities Framework.
