Healthy Active Me
We are all impacted by the pandemic crisis but some families are impacted more than others.
Get Berkshire Active initiated the Healthy Active Me campaign to raise money and support children and families from disadvantaged communities in the county . It can be a household next door in your neighbourhood that has been disproportionately impacted by the pandemic, leaving children without an opportunity to be active and utilise the power of sport and physical activity to support physical and mental wellbeing. Healthy Active Me will help with this.
Healthy Active Me will:
- Provide physical activity kit bags for our most disadvantaged children and families.
- Deliver Fit, Fed and Read Camps during the school holidays.
- Provide access to Sport and Physical activity sessions to most disadvantaged children and families at a reduced cost.

WeAreUndefeatable
A major new campaign has been launched to support the 15 million people who live with one or more long-term health conditions in England.
We Are Undefeatable aims to help those with conditions such as diabetes, cancer, arthritis and Parkinson's to build physical activity into their lives.
The campaign is led by a collaboration of 15 leading health and social care charities and benefits from our expertise and insight, along with National Lottery funding.
One in four people in England live with a long-term health condition, and they're twice as likely to be inactive despite evidence that being active can help manage many conditions and help reduce the impact and severity of some symptoms.
New research shows the majority of people with a long-term health condition want to be active and are aware of the health benefits.
The campaign hopes to inspire, reassure and support people to be active by showing the real-life experiences of people living with a variety of conditions – both visible and invisible – on their own journeys to being active.
The campaign is based on significant research and launch on TV and Radio from the 2nd September for an initial 6 weeks.

This Girl Can #FitGotReal

Sport England discovered that 75% of 14-40 year old women in England want to exercise more, but the fear of judgement was stopping them.
This Girl Can will tackle these fears and a host of other issues to empower more women to give sport a go.
