We spend 1/3 of our adult lives in work. With the exception of manual jobs, many of us spend a lot of time sat at a computer, in a meeting, or generally not moving much. It doesn’t need to be this way, in fact it has been shown that keeping active at work actually improves performance, as well as general wellbeing.

Workplaces are an important part of the lives of many people in Calderdale, we want to partner with as many of them as possible and work with them to create an active culture for their staff.

The conditions we aim to create:

  1. Physical activity is embedded within policies, working practices and delivery of workplaces
  2. Workplace staff are motivated, confident and able to integrate and embed physical activity as part of what they offer to staff.
  3. Workplaces provide opportunities for staff to be physically active
  4. Workplaces provide social encouragement and support to be physically active

Our approach in action

Working with us is never a one-way street, we want to become your partner and guide you through the process of making physical activity a part of what you do. See how our approach worked for other workplaces in Calderdale with our video and blog case studies:
