Let us introduce our Move With Us Ambassadors!

Here you will get to meet our cohort of ambassadors, as well as the young people on the Move With Us Board.

As part of the Move With Us campaign, we believe it’s super important to make sure everything is led by young people from across Essex, that way we know it is inspiring, encouraging and motivating the right audiences to get involved in physical activity and find something that they love. And our ambassadors are doing just that – they’re helping us design and grow the campaign, increasing young people’s positive attitudes towards physical activity and sport.

The team are working hard to share their story of how they got into their activity or sport and hope to help others to feel more confident in finding what’s right for them! Read about our ambassadors below and check back regularly as the team are growing fast.
