Physical activity body ukactive is launching a new programme of regional events, aimed at providing a platform for the physical activity body and its members to discuss the key issues facing the sector.

The new "Together" events will launch in April 2020 and highlight the work of ukactive’s members and provide members an opportunity to gain insight into ukactive’s partnership with Sport England.

The plans come in response to feedback from ukactive members, who have asked for more opportunities to meet locally and learn about ukactive’s work.

The first 10 events are set to take place up and down the UK, with partner organisations and ukactive staff presenting on themes including upcoming campaigns, new research, emerging risks and sector leadership.

ukactive currently has more than 4,000 members, representing small, medium and large businesses across the private, public and third sectors.

"We want to give all of our members the chance to benefit from our work, hear the very latest insights and lessons, and feel much closer to other organisations in their region," said Dave Alstead, ukactive head of member experience.

“ukactive members are the lifeblood of the physical activity sector, driving growth in participation and improving lives day in, day out.

“Together we can grow our organisations and increase our impact by sharing lessons locally and uniting the movement of an active nation.”

Locations and registrations for the full Together programme will be announced shortly, with places available to ukactive members on a first come, first served basis.
