Physical Activity
From Everyday Sport to Get Active in Northamptonshire
Everyday Sport was a Government backed and celebrity endorsed public awareness campaign that aimed to encourage more people to build physical activity and sport into their everyday lives. The campaign was set to get England moving in the battle against obesity and in the countdown to London 2012 and launched in Northamptonshire in 2006.
Everyday Sport aimed to show that getting active can be fun, easy and great for improving your health and wellbeing. It means different things to different people such as, taking the stairs instead of the lift to signing up for an activity class at a local leisure centre or joining a sports club.
Following on from the highly successful Everyday Sport campaign, Northamptonshire has adopted a local campaign to help get people more active and raise awareness about physical activity. This is the Get Active in Northamptonshire campaign.
