We can move
Co-ordinated by Active Gloucestershire, we can move is a social movement designed to get more people active in the county.
About us
Being active should be normal and easy. We look at barriers to being active and use campaigns to encourage people to try something new. We ask people to spot things that need to change and highlight their achievements so that they can inspire and be a champion to others.
Our impact
Our work develops by learning from what has and hasn’t worked before. We use independent research, and commission our own. We listen to people and organisations in the county. Our aim is to have a real and measurable impact on the lives of people in Gloucestershire.
Our team
Let’s talk! We work with many groups and organisations across Gloucestershire, from schools to networks that support older adults. We also do valuable work helping find funding and assist people and organisaations to change where they live, so that more people can be active.

This report summarises the sport and physical activity behaviours of children and young people aged 5–16 in England during the 2024–25 academic year (September 2024 to July 2025). It provides insights into participation trends, activity levels, and patterns that help us understand how active this age group is and where opportunities for improvement lie.![]()

The latest Active Lives Survey from Sport England shows that more children and young people are being active for at least 60 minutes a day – which is excellent!🙌![]()

However, just under 50% of children in England are not active enough and significant inequalities remain, especially for those with physical and mental health needs.![]()
