Get Cheshire West Moving
Our vision for physical activity in Cheshire West and Chester
Our vision
That Cheshire West and Chester is a place where being physically active is the norm.
Aim
Our aim is to work as a system to enable, empower and support all Cheshire West and Chester residents to be more active, more often, in ways in which they enjoy. The Get Cheshire West Moving Strategy will be owned and delivered by system partners across the borough, working with and building on strengths of local organisations and communities. Local voices will continue to shape the delivery plan for the next three years, to ensure the strategy is meaningful, relevant and impactful for local people. Partners are committed to increasing physical activity for all, thus reducing physical inactivity and sedentary behaviour.
