Calderdale’s Vision 2034 is to be a place full of opportunity, where we can all live a larger life. Narrowing the gap in physical inactivity will contribute to our aspirations for people to have the reason to be full of hope. Physical activity is often a catalyst for people to come together in the natural environment, enjoy the borough’s distinctive heritage and be creative. Through its key contribution to wellbeing, being active creates hope and opportunity.
Calderdale became a Sport England Place Partner in 2018. Since then, partners from across sectors have embedded physical activity into their system, ultimately making it easier for people in Calderdale to be physically active. The focus has been on groups of people and areas where physical activity is lowest. Building on the innovation to date, from April 2025, Calderdale’s partnership with Sport England will develop into a new phase called ‘place deepening’. This includes investment to enable the Council and our partners to further systematise reducing physical inactivity by developing active health and social care, active travel and active communities.
The impact of the Active Calderdale work undertaken since 2018 can be seen in the changes in physical activity levels across our population. There has been a 6% increase in the percentage of adults who are physically active (150+ minutes per week) and a 4% decrease in the percentage of the adult population who are classified as physically inactive (less than 30 minutes per week). For children and young people we have seen a 7% increase in physical activity and a 13% decrease in inactivity.
