The consortium has been recognised for successfully combining the strengths and experiences of all five partner organisations from CEO level to frontline deliverers, to make a big difference in communities across East Lancashire. Since 2016, through integration and collaboration, the partnership has created and delivered the Up & Active service, which has transformed tens of thousands of lives.
The joint services provides residents, many of whom who are often inactive and living with one or more life limiting long-term conditions, with the opportunity to significantly improve their lifestyle. The partnership works to understand, motivate and inspire individuals and communities to become more active in order to improve health outcomes.
Pendle Leisure Trust’s Chief Executive, Alison Goode, is delighted that the Up & Active scheme has been recognised, saying: “I am thrilled that this initiative is getting the recognition it deserves. Our collaboration across East Lancashire shows our commitment to encouraging and supporting the local community to be physically active and improving their lifestyles. The Up & Active team within Pendle Leisure Trust does a fantastic job and makes a real difference here in Pendle.”
