About us

Active Essex is the Physical Activity and Sport Partnership for Essex, Southend and Thurrock, and are one of 43 Active Partnerships in England who work collaboratively with local partners to ensure the power of physical activity and sport can transform lives.

Our vision is to create an active Essex to improve everyone's health and wellbeing. This will be underpinned by working together across systems to make physical activity a part of everyday life. We will ensure we do this together, by continuing to strengthen communities, by providing tools to enable our young to have the best and most healthy start to life, by creating attractive local spaces and places to encourage people to be active, and ensuring that good physical and mental wellbeing can be accessed by everyone.
