Active Calderdale is the place partnership for the district and was one of Sport England's 12 Local Delivery Pilots.

The aim in Calderdale is to make activity a part of day-to-day life for everyone in the borough, so that wherever you turn, you are receiving encouragement and opportunity to be physically active.

They work across ten system areas including education, health, green spaces to embed physical activity, sport and movement into every day life.
