Active Communities CIC

about us

Our why

Unequal access to sport and physical activity is a real issue, especially in underserved communities facing economic disadvantage. There is no shortage of need and demand in these communities, yet the opportunities are often missing, producing health inequalities.

Active Communities CIC is dedicated to closing this gap by providing opportunities for people in low-income, underserved communities. Our approach is all about ensuring that everyone, regardless of their background, can enjoy sport and physical activity. We tailor our approach to meet the unique needs and interests of the people we serve, supporting them to tackle the inequalities they face in their lives. In simple terms, our approach changes lives, fostering a sense of pride and belonging in place, all while working towards a fairer and more inclusive society.
