Active Humber has been working with the other 5 Active Partnerships that are along the North East coast of England from Gibraltar Point in Lincolnshire to the Scottish border. The physical activity levels in the communities along this coastline are amongst the most inactive In England and out of the 30 most inactive places in England over a third of those places are along this coastline.
The reason why we came together as the North East Coast Active Partnership (NECAP) is because it was clear to tackle the high levels of inactivity and inequalities we face; the current system has not served those communities as well as it could to get national resources to support these inactive coastal communities.
We have produced the report England's physically inactive coast: turning the tide on physical inactivity rates to outline the very real problem we face and to seek the support of Sport England to help us turn the tide on the low physical activity rates we face in these coastal communities.
