Active Herts
Menu

Welcome

Active Herts is a project that ran in Broxbourne, Hertsmere, Stevenage and Watford from 2015 to 2018, and supported more than 3000 people to become more active and to develop healthy habits. Some of the learning from Active Herts will go on to inform projects across the country to be more effective in supporting some of the most inactive communities to increase their activity levels and to reap the associated benefits that come with it.

The project is now being delivered locally in each of the four local authorities; Broxbourne, Hertsmere, Stevenage and Watford, by highly experienced and supportive Get Active Specialists. The key principles of Active Herts are present in all of their local projects, so participants can continue to be fully supported along the way.
