Our purpose
Helping our communities live healthier, more active live
At Active Lichfield Communities, our purpose is simple:
To help people across Lichfield District move more, feel better and live healthier lives.
We believe that being active should be something everyone can enjoy — no matter your age, ability, background or confidence.
Why this matters
Being active is about much more than exercise.
It can help people to:
- Feel happier and more confident
- Improve their physical and mental health
- Build friendships and feel less isolated
- Stay independent for longer
- Create positive habits that last a lifetime
But we know that for many people, getting started isn’t always easy.
That’s why we focus on creating opportunities that are:
- Affordable and accessible
- Designed around real communities and real lives
What we strive to do
We aim to:
- Make physical activity accessible to everyone
- Remove barriers that stop people getting involved
- Support those who need it most
- Create welcoming, local opportunities for people to take part
- Help people take their first step into activity — and keep going
We are not just here for those who are already active.
We are here for:
- People who don’t feel confident
- People who don’t see themselves as “sporty”
- People who need extra support
- People who just want to feel better
- People who want to create friendships and positive connections
Building healthier communities together
We work with partners across the district – including health services, schools, community groups, local sports clubs and organisations – to make sure our work reaches the people who need it most.
Together, we are creating a district where:
- Being active is part of everyday life
- People feel supported to take part
- Communities are healthier, happier and more connected

You don’t need to be fit.
