Find Your Active Castle Point is a community activity network with representatives from Active Essex, Castle Point Borough Council and local organisations within the statutory, voluntary and private sectors.  The network operates via an alliance with Find Your Active Rochford and works collaboratively with sports clubs, facilities and both local and Essex wide partners and boroughs in order to promote and provide opportunities for increased physical activity, health and wellbeing.

Sport England is expanding its Place Partnerships programme, which will see £190 million of National Lottery and Exchequer funding invested in up to 80-100 new places across England over the next 5 years. Targeted local investment and resources will help to increase activity levels, decrease inactivity and breakdown the barriers and inequalities that prevent people from playing sport or being active.

Since 2018, Sport England has tested Place Partnerships through a place-based approach of working with ‘Local Delivery Pilots’ in 12 of the country’s most disadvantaged and least active communities. This has included Essex, where particular focus has been in Basildon, Colchester and Tendring. Sport England have chosen three new Place Partnerships for Essex: 1) Castle Point, 2) Harlow, 3) Thurrock.
