They are also mentioned in the Implementing Uniting The Movement Years 2-4 2022-2 plan (Our summary)
Campaigns and advocacy: using our voice, our insight, our partnerships and our investments to make the case for sport and physical activity, to encourage people to be more active and to break down some of the barriers to activity.

The BIG Active to increase physical activity through swim, bike and run

Triathlon England’s new development strategy, The BIG Active, is designed to increase access to and participation in the three disciplines of triathlon by taking swim, bike and run to new people, places and communities. As well as growing the sport and its disciplines, the strategy aims to tackle some of society’s most persisting inequalities through the power of involvement, in all its forms, in the three biggest participation activities in the country.
