Active Villages
This is YOUR page to read, and find out the activities in the area.
I was lucky enough to start work with Together an Active Future in 2022, with the aim to create a whole village approach to physical and mental wellbeing through inclusive activities. "Nothing to Something" and "Something to More".
Here are some of the projects already happening.
01
Play and Sport Library
Dunsop Bridge Playing Field is home to the Play Library, a Crowdfunded selection of kit available for anyone in the community to access, completely free.
From sports equipment for football, cricket, rounders and more, to play equipment and exercise mats.
Not Just for Kids! its for everyone!

Park Play
Throughout the years we developed different play type social sessions. Leading to the Ribble Valley Collaboration with Park Play- Making Happier, Healthier Communities through the life-altering power of play.

Farming Stronger 4 Longer
It began with a leaflet distributed mainly through the brilliant field nurses, at the various farming and agricultural shows as well as through the auctions. In 2024 developments started to speed up, and in 2025 we are running free trials, producing social media content, booklets and connecting with like minded organisations.

Picnic at the Park
Every September we team up with The Forest of Bowland National Landscapes feast week for a picnic in the park with games for the kids and adults to join in. Starting with Story Time Movement by Matt, including Park Play and then a picnic to finish.
