Hertfordshire's Year of Physical Activity 2018

(HertsYOPA18)

What is HertsYOPA18?

 

HertsYOPA18 aims to make Hertfordshire the most active county, by:

  • increasing physical activity
  • shifting stubborn inactivity levels
  • celebrating what's already happening
  • encouraging new programmes and events.

HertsYOPA18 is being led by the Hertfordshire Sports and Physical Activity Partnership, Hertfordshire County Council, and Hertfordshire Association of Cultural Officers. It is supported by the 10 district councils and many other organisations.

Who's it for?

Anyone!

We want as many people and organisations as possible to get behind the campaign to help reach Hertfordshire residents who may not be leading an active lifestyle yet.

  • You could be someone who runs a group with no link to physical activity but want to encourage your group to try new activities.
  • You may be someone who provides sport and physical activity opportunities, who wants to promote your offer and encourage new people to join your group. 
  • You could be a group of friends who wants to get more active, or encourage activity in your community.
