The Youth Sport Trust ("YST") is the UK's leading children's charity for improving the education and development of every child through play and sport. Our Vision: A future where every child enjoys the life-changing benefits of play and sport. Our Mission: To equip educators and empower young people to build bright futures. YST's 2022-2035 strategy has three objectives: Urgent action: Build back healthier, happier and more resilient young people, and level the playing field for those most disadvantaged. Generational shift: To balance the demands of the digital age through the human connection of physical play and sport. Societal change: Transform society's perceptions and attitudes towards the importance of physical literacy, play & sport in the education & development of young people. Starting locally and building momentum, we will galvanise and inspire changemakers to transform attitudes, improve practice and drive policy change. Together we will harness the power of play and sport to build belonging for a generation, improving their health, fostering inclusion, and developing character and leadership.

Active Cumbria, The Sport & Physical Activity Partnership (hereafter referred to as Active Cumbria) is one of 49 County Sports Partnerships, covering every area of England. A county sports partnership is a network of key agencies committed to working together to increase participation in sport and physical activity. Partners include national governing bodies of sport and their clubs, local authorities, sport and leisure facilities, public health, education, and many other non-sporting organisations. Although county sports partnerships are funded through Sport England to deliver a range of specific services and programmes, Active Cumbria proactively engage with a much wider range of partners on a variety of services to benefit the people and communities of Cumbria. Active Cumbria is supported in achieving its aims by a Partnership Steering Group and by a core team of professional staff who provide leadership, co-ordination and structures which allow people and organisations to work more effectively together at a sub-regional level. The Partnership and its core team are hosted within the Adult and Local Services Directorate of Cumbria County Council. Active Cumbria believe that the partnership's priorities and cross cutting work areas have a vital contribution to make in achieving Cumbria County Council's and Adult and Local Services key priorities and aspirations. The Council's emphasis on supporting and improving the life chances of the most vulnerable and disadvantaged members of our community are reflected in our priorities and future work areas. These priorities contribute to achieving the outcomes identified in Active Cumbria's recently launched Strategy for Sport & Physical Activity covering the period 2013-17. As articulated in its recently launched Strategy, Active Cumbria has a clear purpose, which is 'to work with all partners to achieve healthy and active communities in Cumbria through sport and physical activity'. It is only through working together that the Partnership's vision of 'everyone in Cumbria has more opportunities to participate in sport and enjoy physical activity as an integral part of everyday life' will be achieved. By continuing to work with key partners in an open, proactive, honest, and mutually beneficial way, Active Cumbria will ensure that its vision and purpose have the best opportunity to be achieved.
