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.
Improving strength and balance doesn't have to be complicated. In fact, some of the most effective activities can be built into the routines we already do every day🤩![]()
