Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 14 Oct, 06:04 · Archive
Sport England, North Yorkshire Sport and the York & North Yorkshire Combined Authority have signed a long-term Memorandum of Understanding to put movement and sport at the centre of healthier communities in York and North Yorkshire.
The agreement brings together Sport England's national Uniting the Movement strategy with the Mayor's £7 million Moving Forward campaign. The three organisations will develop a joint programme to improve activity levels across the region, with a focus on those who face the greatest barriers to being active.
David Watson, chief executive of North Yorkshire Sport, said the agreement provides 'a clear framework for action in the areas where we can make the biggest difference'. Simon Hayes, chief executive of Sport England, described community sport as having 'a vital role to play in creating healthier, happier communities and stronger local economies'.
The memorandum will focus on aligning services and investment, developing the workforce, joint communications and advocacy, linking health services with physical activity, creating child-friendly places, and using data and evaluation to measure progress.
