Together an Active Future (TaAF) enables sustainable change in approaches to physical activity

Our role as a Sport England Place Partner is to create the conditions for this change at a local level, within Pennine Lancashire.

We invest in people to develop their capability to lead

We inspire transformation through collaboration

We translate ideas and learning to deliver meaningful change

We know there are a number of different challenges that make it harder for people to be more active. We also know that when we come together, take time and create the right environment, we can open opportunities to allow everyone in our places to move more.

TaAF covers the footprint of Pennine Lancashire; made up of the areas of Blackburn with Darwen, Burnley, Hyndburn, Pendle, Ribble Valley and Rossendale.

Our Local Networks have a place based team in each district. You can find out more about what is happening in each area by clicking on the map.

Our Universal Network works with specific groups of people across Pennine Lancashire, including Active Schools, Active Madrassahs, Creative Football, Leadership and The Lifestyle Hub. To find out more about these work streams click on the logos below.

Our Targeted Network works alongside strategic partners who operate in Pennine Lancashire, including Let Me Move, Family Hubs, Physical Activity Campaigns and Strategic Partner Physical Activity Development Work.

As you can imagine my health and stamina had taken a massive hit and declined. And here it’s been brilliant, it’s the opposite, I have been using muscles I haven’t used for ages, both physically and mentally it’s been brilliant.

Right now it’s the architecture that’s needed to support effective collaboration at scale.

I lost my job and instead of going out and drinking I went to a football session, and it totally changed my outlook on everything. I didn’t drink that day, I played football. I can’t remember whether we won or lost, but I felt better.
