Welcome to Active Gloucestershire.
Active Gloucestershire is an independent charity with a vision for everyone in Gloucestershire to be active everyday.
We have a key responsibility for increasing physical activity levels across Gloucestershire and are an agent of change, uniting individuals and a huge range of national policy makers and organisations around one of the greatest challenges facing our society today: inactivity.
We want to inspire, connect and enable people in Gloucestershire to get active in a way that works for them, and we want to support those who can help others move more, like activity providers, sports clubs and key partners in the county. We do this through we can move – Gloucestershire’s social movement that brings people together from across the sports and physical activity sector, public sector of voluntary and community sector.
We all work together to help people benefit from a more active lifestyle.
We can move
Co-ordinated by Active Gloucestershire, we can move is a social movement designed to get more people active in the county.
About us
Being active should be normal and easy. We look at barriers to being active and use campaigns to encourage people to try something new. We ask people to spot things that need to change and highlight their achievements so that they can inspire and be a champion to others.
Our impact
Our work develops by learning from what has and hasn’t worked before. We use independent research, and commission our own. We listen to people and organisations in the county. Our aim is to have a real and measurable impact on the lives of people in Gloucestershire.
Our team
Let’s talk! We work with many groups and organisations across Gloucestershire, from schools to networks that support older adults. We also do valuable work helping find funding and assist people and organisaations to change where they live, so that more people can be active.

Over three fantastic days, the Active Gloucestershire team spent time out of the office and in the garden, volunteering at Kingsholm Primary School. We were there to support the brilliant WE ARE PROJECT GROW CIC, an organisation dedicated to reimagining school outdoor spaces!🪴![]()

Our tasks consisted of constructing a brand new polytunnel and giving the school's storage huts a vibrant makeover. The team spirit was incredible across all three days. The construction and painting were embraced and tackled with precision, determination, and plenty of laughter😅![]()

It was a true display of community spirit, and we're proud to have helped move this brilliant space one step closer to becoming a fully functioning school allotment and outdoor learning hub. It was a hugely valuable experience for us too – stepping away from screens, connecting with each other, getting moving in a completely different way, and spending time with a fantastic local community.![]()

At Active Gloucestershire, we're proud to get two volunteer days a year, and we love using them to support local initiatives like this❤️![]()

A huge thank you to Kingsholm Primary for your wonderful hospitality (and the delicious lunches!), to Claire Dovey, and the We Are Project Grow CIC team for supporting us and to Mrs Field for all of her hard work behind the scenes to make this all happen.![]()
