All Together Active

Introduction

All Together Active is Cheshire and Merseyside’s strategy for the health and social care system to support the subregion’s residents to become more physically active.

The strategy has been commissioned by the Cheshire and Merseyside’s Population Health Board and has been developed by the two Active Partnerships in the subregion, Active Cheshire and MSP, supported by Sport England.

All Together Active has been produced following an intensive consultation period with partners from across the public, private and third sector and sets out a number of approaches and initiatives to increase activity levels and create momentum and energy to ensure this goal is met. 

The strategy has also been developed with health inequalities and the subregion’s All Together Fairer report from Professor Sir Michael Marmot in mind.
