Active Champions
Make a difference: Be an Active Champion
No-one is a better advocate for being more active than someone who’s been through the experience of starting that journey from scratch, and understands the difference it can make. If that’s you - maybe you could be an Active Champion!
Being active and moving every day can make a huge difference to how you feel, both mentally and physically, but we can sometimes lack the confidence or knowledge to know how to get started.
Having someone who we can relate to, who can talk about how they did it, can make a big difference. They don’t need to be someone who’s a fitness expert - just someone who’s been in a similar situation. Your story can show how moving and being active can mean lots of different things - and how easy it can be to get started.
Help inspire your community
There are lots of ways to support people with starting to move more - and lots of ways you can be an Active Champion! You can share your story. Or promote local activities online. Or maybe set up a regular activity session yourself?
Our team can talk with you about what you feel you can do in the time you have available. They’ll help you build the skills to become an Active Champion, so you can feel confident in supporting others to be more active in a way that works for them.
Become an Active Champion, and help make a more Active Calderdale.
“Women's squash has been a fabulous opportunity to keep fit and engage in physical activity. There are no other schemes like this in my area that I am aware of. It has allowed me to not only play squash (never done before) but meet other women in the local community."

“I found out about the Squash from the Mosque project and was really surprised that I would be able to play squash. Since coming, I have been more active and never thought I would be able to enjoy a sport.”
