We couldn’t offer what we currently do without the support of our partners at @cornwall_active They’ve backed us from the very start through OSF funding, which helped get several of our key initiatives off the ground. We’re incredibly grateful for their continued support.

Taking it back to early 2025... 👀 In February, we announced the first 53 Place Expansion Partnerships as part of Sport England’s £250m investment into Place based work aiming to address regional inequalities in activity levels. Each area is in the top 10% of the country for inactivity, social need, deprivation and health inequality. Fast forward to November 2025 to our recent Blackpool visit, where a further 27 Place Partnerships were announced bringing the total to 80 Sport England Place Partnerships.
