Active Families

At Active Families North East we work across the North East of England, delivering accessible health & well-being activities for all ages.Our mission is to create positive experiences for the whole community whilst tackling health & social inequalities and making participation accessible to all.

We are making a difference by:

• Breaking down barriers to activity
• Engaging and activating both vulnerable and frail older people
• Encouraging socialisation & reducing isolation
• Impact on the greatest number of people (children and adults)
• Enable children and young people to have the best start in life and form good habits
• Support families and communities that are benefiting least from being active
• Provide access to all our infrastructure which includes, green and blue space, as well as sport and leisure facilities.

We also deliver a number of sport festivals, events and a weekly walking programme to inspire people to become more active. It is our hope that we can improve people’s understanding of the benefits of being active, which include improved physical and mental wellbeing.
