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.

Want to HertsYOPA18 stamp your activities? Let us know your plans for the year using this activity form (DOC 45.4 kb) Opening a new window and we'll share the toolkit with you.

Every month, HertsYOPA18 has a new theme, led by a different organisation.

September is 'Get back into' month

The month aims to encourage people who have stopped taking part in, coaching or volunteering in sports to get back into something they once loved.

There are activity sessions running all across Hertfordshire to help people reacquaint themselves with sports and physical activity.

Sports clubs are always on the look out for new players, coaches, and especially volunteers. This campaign not only offers people a route back to the sport they once loved, but also gives clubs the chance to boost their numbers.

The sessions on offer will be suitable for all ages and abilities, and many are free of charge!

Check out the September newsletter for ideas of what’s on. See Herts Sports Partnership for a complete list of the Get Back Into sessions.
