Let's Move! Westmorland and Furness
Let’s Move! in Westmorland and Furness is supported by Sport England through the Place Universal Offer, a package designed to help every area in England strengthen its approach to physical activity and tackle inequality. It exists to ensure that even local authority footprints not receiving targeted Place Expansion funding still have support to develop local, place-based strategies, empowering communities to create a joined-up approach to reducing inactivity and improving health.
As part of this work, Barrow-in-Furness has been identified as a key area for development. Click the link to view the detailed map.
What Will We do?
Let’s Move! will deliver meaningful change by embedding physical activity into local systems, policies, and community infrastructure across Barrow-in-Furness. We aim to reduce inactivity, improve health outcomes, and address inequalities through:
- Collaboration and Networking
- System Leadership
- Test and Learn Approaches
- System Change
- Evaluation and Learning
Through Let’s Move!, Active Cumbria will strengthen local leadership, align priorities, and create a joined-up approach that makes physical activity a normal part of everyday life across Westmorland and Furness.
The principles and approach to the Let’s Move! work in Barrow-in-Furness will build on the learning and development of the Let’s Move! approach in Maryport, Workington and Whitehaven.
Let’s Move! in Barrow-in-Furness will benefit from financial and capacity support through to at least March 2028.
