Get Hull Active

28/11/2025

❓ Did you know?
Many young people told us they thought physical activity had to be hard — like intense sport or cardio workouts.
They were surprised to learn that everyday things like walking 🚶‍♀️, dancing 💃, or cycling to school also count as physical activity — and that they should be aiming for 60 minutes a day to support their health and wellbeing.

🏃‍♀️💬 Hull’s Conversation about Physical Activity: Insights from Youth Voice!

Did you know Get Hull Active and StreetGames have started a city-wide conversation about physical activity?

Young people told us they want to be more active, but barriers like cost, confidence, and feeling unwelcome can hold them back. Together, we’re working to change that.
Hull is on a mission to become a more active city — and we want everyone to be part of it! 🌳🚴‍♂️

Feeling safe should never be a barrier to getting active.

As the mornings and evenings get darker, safety becomes even more important—especially for women and girls in Hull. That’s why we’re loving the latest from the campaign and their partnership with Strava 💪

Strava’s safety features are designed to give you peace of mind:

🔒 Map visibility controls – choose what you share and what stays private
📍 Beacon feature – let up to 3 trusted contacts track your activity in real time

Whether you're walking, running, or cycling, everyone deserves to feel safe while moving. These features help make that possible.
