In 2025, physical literacy has become a bigger part of our work and how we talk about physical activity.
Physical literacy is about our relationship with movement and physical activity, and how that relationship changes throughout our lives. It focuses on how we think, feel, and connect with movement.

The Patchwork Programme - Positive experiences collective
Lucy Gray, our Development Manager for Children and Young People, took part in Cohort 1 of the Patchwork Programme. She worked alongside the East Yorkshire Place Partner and Withernsea High School.
Through this programme, Lucy and the team explored practical ways to build physical literacy into PE lessons and extra-curricular activities. The focus was on creating positive experiences of movement for young people.
Lucy and the team have shared how this learning has already made a difference in the East Riding area. They are now looking at how these ideas and approaches can be shared more widely across the Humber region.

We have published a few of these stories on our blog. Click here to take a look.
