Join the Movement for a Healthier, Happier You
What is Move More?
Move More Kirklees is a social movement which seeks to promote the role of physical activity in enhancing the borough’s health and wellbeing.
Our mission is to encourage individuals to engage in regular movement, enhancing both mental and physical well-being.
Our approach
Empowering Communities
We work side by side with communities in our priority areas to create spaces, opportunities, and support that make being active easier and more enjoyable for everyone.
Our goal is to give local people the confidence and tools to lead the way.
Tackling Inequalities
Being active makes a huge difference to our health and wellbeing – but Kirklees is facing serious health inequalities that mean far too many adults and children don’t have the opportunities they deserve to live an active life.
Move More Kirklees is a social movement where everyone has a part to play in helping people to move more.
Increasing Physical Activity Levels
Moving more has exceptional benefits for us, our families, our communities and our economy.
As well as being vitally important for our health and wellbeing, physical activity is hugely powerful in so many other ways, too.
Sport England’s Place Partnership
Kirklees is one of Sport England’s Place Partnership Expansion areas, providing a targeted, place-based opportunity to tackle inactivity in the communities of greatest need.
We will co-design solutions, break down barriers and aim to make being active easier and more inclusive, as part of Sport England’s broader “Uniting the Movement” goal to help everyone feel better and live well.
Benefits of Moving More
Moving more has exceptional benefits for us, our families, our communities and our economy.
Whatever your age, there’s strong scientific evidence that being physically active can help you lead a healthier and happier life.
Exercise can reduce your risk of major illnesses, such as coronary heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and cancer, and lower your risk of early death by up to 30%.
