Digital Activity Pilot – Let’s Move Lincolnshire

East Lindsey

Thanks to an award from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) Active Lincolnshire have been able to initiate their Let’s Move Lincolnshire – Digital Activity Pilot.

The pilot project aims to engage with people who want to be more physically active and who would benefit from the positive health and wellbeing impact, through working with physical activity providers and clubs to raise awareness of their offer and increase digital marketing of the activities available through the Let’s Move Lincolnshire website and activity finder.

The focus will be on promoting activities and connecting with groups who support older adults, people with long term health conditions, people with a disability, minority ethnic communities, women, and girls.

They are keen to understand what is happening with LCC and in your area! What physical activity, sport or movement opportunities are taking place in your town, village, community or street? Active Lincolnshire want to reach people and groups who are doing great things for residents across East Lindsey. If you could spend around 10 minutes of your time sharing what you know via this form, it will be of great value to the project over the coming months.
