We Can Move District Funding
Cotswold District Council’s ‘Active Cotswold Physical Activity Programme’ aims to address health inequalities and encourage Cotswold residents to become more active by offering physical activity opportunities that are community led, sustainable, place based and supported by CDC using local, qualified professionals.
In partnership with Active Gloucestershire, we have secured funding from them for small grants which organisations can apply for projects that will support Cotswold residents get more active and help to address the inequalities that currently exist in sport/physical activity participation.
