Active Sunderland

Active Sunderland's aim is to develop an 'All together an Active Sunderland - a city where everyone is as active as they can be'.

They aim to get more people active in the community and work in partnership with a wide range of partners to improve access and pathways into sport and physical activity. They do this by:

  • impacting on the greatest number of people (children and adults)
  • enabling children and young people to have the best start in life and form good habits
  • supporting families and communities that are benefiting least from being active
  • providing access to all our infrastructure which includes, green and blue space, as well as sport and leisure facilities.

They also deliver a number of sport festivals, events and a weekly walking programme to inspire people to become more active.
