North West Leicestershire Health and Wellbeing team are proud to be an Active Together partner to support the people of NWL to get active, their way.

Active Together is a movement encouraging and supporting people to be physically active for the benefit of both physical health and mental wellbeing. It highlights local champions who have become active themselves while inspiring others to do the same and shares information on opportunities to be active in a way that suits you, your preferences, and your lifestyle.

If you wish to find out more about Active Together you can visit the main pages here for more information. We’ve also listed some great information on how and where to get active in and around NWL below:
