Creating a more active Sheffield is everyone’s business and this strategy is relevant to everybody in Sheffield. This strategy primarily aims to support individuals, groups and organisation that have a role in shaping the physical and social environment in Sheffield, and also partners who have the reach and relationships with the people and communities who will benefit from change


Our Principles

The core principles capture what partners across Sheffield believe is really important; they underpin the Move More approach.

The principles are not prescriptive; they are flexible and practical ways of working. They will help to align and guide activity across the city to help create a coordinated approach

  • Thinking Big in Sheffield: working ambitiously as part of a big, complex, ever changing system.

  • Putting people and places first: working with and not doing to. 

  • Prioritising Equality, Diversity and Inclusion: upholding these principles and encouraging others to do the same.

  • Focusing on where the need is greatest: an approach that is proportionate to need

  • Going where the energy is: focusing on what is strong

  • Collaboration: creating and maintaining links and networks

  • Enabling leadership everywhere: nurturing physical activity leadership, wherever it occurs.

  • Learning what works: prioritising reflection and learning, whilst still moving forwards. 

  • Staying open to change: staying agile and comfortable with iterative working

  • Environmental impact: being mindful and taking steps to reduce impact
