Yorkshire & Humber vision for work, health, and skills framework

The role sport and physical activity can play to boost work, health and skills in Yorkshire and Humber

Active Humber, North Yorkshire Sport, and Yorkshire Sport Foundation have created this vision for Work, Health and Skills on the role that sport, and physical activity can play in helping everyone to be more active. The vision advocates for the importance of skills development in the sport and physical activity sector, as a driver for positive change and how sport and physical activity should be embedded within the local and regional work, health and skills priorities and commitments.

Active Humber and CIMSPA are working closely together to make the case for a recognized, valued, and inclusive sport and physical activity sector that everyone can be a part of.

To achieve this effectively, a local approach connecting employers, education and workforces is vital so that the provision of new training is based upon local need. This builds up a much richer picture of the regional differences and opportunities that exist across sport and physical activity in the UK. The CIMSPA data packs for a) Hull & East Yorkshire and b) North and North East Lincolnshire collate and analyze insight specific to each place and provide an in depth, baseline knowledge across the sector, informing stakeholders of the businesses that are operating, the economic health of the sector, and recruitment.
