Who funds us?
Active Herts is funded by Sport England, Hertfordshire Public Health, East and North Herts Clinical Commissioning Group, Herts Valleys Clinical Commissioning Group and Broxbourne Borough Council. Sport England alongside others partners want to drive a step change in the public’s health. Tackling inactivity is a key part of making this step change to reduce the burden of preventable death, disease and disability, and support people and their communities to achieve their full potential.
As the principal funder Sport England’s aspiration is to get more people participating in sport once a week. Locally, Active Herts provides a real opportunity to make a different to the lives of local people.
