Everyone deserves to feel the benefits of being active.
Our partner WASP (Wiltshire & Swindon Sport) make movement inclusive. Get Out Get Active (GOGA) is helping break down barriers so more people can move in ways that work for them.

Throughout the school summer holidays, Wiltshire Council are encouraging families with children to celebrate how they move as part of the South West 'Every Move Matters' campaign.

During the school holidays, children often experience a drop in physical activity levels due to the loss of structured routines like PE lessons, active playtimes, and after-school clubs. Without these opportunities, children might spend more time indoors being sedentary, especially with increased screen time. Moving just a little bit each day can build a stronger, healthier future, and movement is even more important for children because inactivity can affect emotional wellbeing, social development, and academic performance.

Look out for posts about movement opportunities throughout this week and every Monday throughout the summer holidays

We’ll be using to showcase these opportunities.
