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.
