Our vision and strategy

Northamptonshire Sport is one of 43 Active Partnerships (APs) set up by Sport England in 2003/4.

An Active Partnership’s fundamental job is to support people’s health and wellbeing by encouraging more physical activity and/or sport. We operate across Northamptonshire, a county of 785,200 residents with a wide range of socio-economic groups and significant health inequalities across the population.

Our vision is “By 2024 to be a high performing charitable organisation having a demonstrable impact on physical inactivity in Northamptonshire”. We will do this by:

Strengthening our sector leading work with schools and education to embed healthy, active, lifestyles from the earliest age

Working even more closely with our communities to understand need, build partnerships, develop services and create the conditions for active lifestyles

Developing a more commercial approach by delivering events, managing locations, facilitating activity hubs and exploring new funding channels which, all combined, will significantly increase our ability to improve the personal wellbeing of the people in Northamptonshire
