Active Calderdale

What does physical activity mean to you?

Physical activity means different things to many people in Calderdale. For some it’s the gym, going for a run, cycling or sport. For others it’s walking, gardening, dancing or commuting. For some it’s about fitness and losing weight, for others it’s about connecting with friends and family, and for some it’s about maintaining their physical health, mental health or independence – the list is endless, and unique to everyone.

62% of the population in Calderdale are active for over 150 minutes a week – we want to get that number even higher, will you join us?

Active Calderdale is the physical activity strategy that will help us to become the most Active borough in the north by 2024, we’ll do this by supporting everyone to be more active, more often and in any way they choose. In particular, we want to reach the 28% of Calderdale who are active for less than 30 minutes per week to make small simple changes across the whole system to enable the people of Calderdale to be more active, and to get all of the physical, mental, social, environmental & economic benefits that an active population can bring.
