We are delighted to have been recognised for helping those affected by lockdown to sit less and move more. Our Health at Home programme was a special evolution of the Active Movement concept, and we are pleased that it was able to positively support so many people.

Active Movement in Haringey
The borough of Haringey represents a new challenge for active movement with one of the most diverse populations across ethnicity, deprivation and educational ability. So when active movement had the chance to work with Debbie Arrigon from Haringey public health to introduce the concept to a local primary school, it was too good an opportunity to miss.
Active Movement in Berkshire
From January 2016, two schools undertook the first active movement pilot to involve a number of schools in a single town. In partnership with West Berkshire Council and Get Berkshire Active, Park House School (the first national secondary school ever to take part) and The Winchcombe Reception and Primary school were introduced to the active movement for the Spring and Summer term.
