Active Health & Care
Active Health & Care is about bringing movement into the heart of how we look after ourselves and each other. By connecting health professionals, community teams, and local residents, we’re helping Blackpool move more, feel better, and live well — together.
Bringing Movement Into Everyday Health and Care
Active Health & Care is one of the key ways Move Together Blackpool is helping our town get moving. Being active is one of the best things we can do for our health and wellbeing — yet many of us don’t move enough to feel those benefits.
This workstream focuses on supporting the people who work in Blackpool’s health and care settings — from GP practices and community teams to hospitals and social care services — so they can feel confident starting positive, person-centred conversations about movement.
Together, we’re connecting physical activity and healthcare in a way that makes sense for the people who live and work in Blackpool.
