🗣️DiSC® Training 🗣️

Earlier this week, the Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire team took part in some team DiSC®Training with the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce.👍

Building on our previous DiSC®Workshops that the team had undertaken, this training took the team through understanding behavioural differences, effective communication, and conflict navigation to strengthen collaborative work. ✅

We’re grateful to the Herefordshire & Worcestershire Chamber of Commerce for their support, and we’re excited to carry these insights into how we work with each other and with our partners across the two counties.🤝

🎉 What a day at The Walshes Community Carnival last weekend!🎉

It was brilliant to have part of our team there, joining families for a day packed with activities for all ages. It was great to have Andy from GreenApe joining us on the day! 🙌

We gathered some really valuable insights on what helps families get more active:

💷 Affordability was the biggest factor
🌳 Better parks and open spaces
📍 More activities available locally

There was also strong interest across a whole range of activities, not just one standout offer, including park games, bike rides, dance, holiday activities and family fitness. 🚴‍♀️💃⚽

Thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat! 💬

🎥School Fitness Festival Video🎥

The team at Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire are delighted to release the School Fitness Festival case study video - an in depth look into the programme and its impact. 🌟

Filmed earlier this year, on Wednesday 17th June, the School Fitness Festival - this video was all about capturing what makes the School Fitness Festival so important, and so impactful.

This event itself was created by Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire in collaboration with The Academy Programme and British Weightlifting and aims to embed functional fitness and weightlifting into school settings as an alternative to traditional sports and physical activity – reducing inequalities in physical activity by providing inclusive and engaging opportunities for young people who are often underrepresented in sport and physical activity. 🏫🏋️

British Functional Fitness Federation also became a part of the team this year, forming a multitude of like-minded organisation that view functional fitness as a powerful alternative to traditional forms of physical activity.

The festival is about more than one day of activity. It also supports teachers and young people to build the confidence, skills and ideas to introduce functional fitness within their own schools, helping more young people find enjoyable ways to keep moving. 🏃‍♂️

Speaking about the video, Kerrie O'Mahony, Strategic Lead for Children and Young People, said: "Being able to capture the essence and the impact of the School Fitness Festival has been very special to us at Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire." ❤️

This is a project born from youth-led voice and meaningful collaboration - evidencing just what is possible if we can put our minds together and deliver initiatives that address local needs, helping young people build the confidence and motivation to stay active throughout their lives. 🤝

🎉Positive Ageing Week 2026🎉

But Positive Ageing Week is just the start whether you want to get moving, try something new, meet people or simply become more active in your local community, there are plenty of opportunities available!❤️

💛Preparing for Care x Positive Ageing Week 💛

Yesterday, we had a wonderful time at the Worcestershire Preparing for Care event held at Worcestershire County Cricket Club. ✅

This was a collaborative event brought to Worcestershire by Active Herefordshire and Worcestershire, Citizens Advice Bromsgrove & Redditch and Worcestershire County Council - sponsored by Taking Care. 🤝

Our Chief Executive Officer, Stephen Brewster delivered a talk on the importance of remaining active at all stages of life and the positive impact it can have on the care system - also presenting our Stronger for Longer Case Study video filmed in conjuncture with Sport England. 🙌

Falling on Positive Ageing Week, the event invited a variety of organisations across Worcestershire that work in and around the care system to connect, share ideas and discuss how we can better work together to see the care system better connected. 👏
