What we do

Our aim is to get 'more people, more active, more often'.

We do this by:

Supporting local sports clubs and community groups with funding applications, coach development, volunteer and participant recruitment
Delivering beginner-level participation programmes for people currently not active
Working with national governing bodies of sport to deliver national programmes within St Helens
Working with local partners to tackle inequalities in sport and physical activity
Delivering school sport events as part of the school games programme

Have a look at our new St Helens Active Lives Strategy 2022-27.
