Who we are
The Alliance
The Alliance is a sector led organisation comprised of leading physical activity promoting organisations across the private and voluntary sectors and across the three main domains of physical activity (indoor, outdoor and active travel). The Alliance is responsible for promoting physical activities that are fun, sociable and accessible to people of all abilities. The Alliance is not in itself a direct delivery body although many of its constituent organisations are. Its key purpose and role is to be a national advocate on physical activity and respond to the Government and other consultations to drive policy. It will also seek to improve the use of evidence based interventions and national standards for reporting through the development and production of an Evaluation Framework.
The BoardThe Alliance is led by a Board of Directors whose members are drawn from organisations across the sector. These individuals act in a personal capacity as members of the Board rather than as representatives of their organisations. The Board are responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the Alliance. |
The Steering Group
The Steering Group members are drawn from a broad range of organisations across the physical activity sector. The role of the Steering Group is to provide strategic advice and direction to the Board. |
