Active Gloucestershire (formerly The Gloucestershire Sports Partnership) was established in December 1999 with the task of sustaining and increasing participation in all forms of community sport and physical activity across the county.
There is an abundance of evidence that suggests sport and physical activity can enhance the quality of life of individuals and communities by having a direct impact on improving health and education. The evidence shows that it also contributes to a more vibrant economy, builds sustainable communities and provides opportunities for all individuals to establish and achieve personal goals. Despite these benefits it is understood that encouraging sustained participation poses a significant challenge.
Here at Active Gloucestershire our vision is for Gloucestershire to be a physically active and thriving county. Browse this section to find out more about how we're doing this.
