Children and Young People (aged 5-16) should engage in moderate-to-vigorous intensity physical activity for an average of 60 minutes per day across the week. In the Humber, 51.9% are not active enough. You can find out more about children and young people’s activity rates on our insight pages here.
We work with partner organisations in a targeted way to reach the children and young people facing the biggest inequalities so that we can help the less active to get active and make a positive difference to their lives.

Whilst this support has linked to the broad spectrum of groups they work with we have specifically supported the development of opportunities for the children and young people they work with to access a range of sport and physical activity opportunities. This includes supporting them to access funding to develop different programmes of activity, supporting the development of their sport and physical activity workforce, linking them to other funded programmes in Hull, providing advice and guidance and developing their knowledge and understanding of the wider sector to support them to access bigger funding pots / linking them to bigger pieces of work which will benefit the communities they work with to lead healthier lifestyles.
