Imagine a world where physical activity behaviours are as routinely discussed within your NHS consultations as smoking, or 'prescribed' as routinely as medications. One where your healthcare professional (HCP) helps connect you into ways of being active that work for you. That’s the aim of the work we are doing with our health and physical activity partners, through our Uniting the Movement strategy, to strengthen the connections between sport and physical activity, and health and wellbeing.

Our sector is the nation’s engine room of physical activity as we support health and wellbeing by welcoming people from all communities – whatever their age, background or ability – on their journey to a more active lifestyle. Customer-facing and facility-based environments work hard to ensure that users, staff and buildings are operating to the right standards.

For many, summer is their favourite part of the year – longer and warmer days (when the sun is out!), holidays and a sport competition or two, but I have a soft spot for October. Why? Because it’s the month when we celebrate the Sporting Equals Awards. The event is a celebration of race equality in sport and physical activity and it turns a focus on both the elite and grassroots of the sector with an opportunity to mark the progress made and to profile role models at every level.

How good does it feel to be active? Because it doesn’t matter who you are, your ability for sports or even whether you have any physical condition – moving is good for everybody. Last summer, TV personality Gok Wan partnered with We Are Undefeatable – a movement supporting people with a range of long-term health conditions to be more physically active in ways that work for them.
