Movement with Communities – Our Work in Torbay
We are committed to working with partners, to achieve positive impact for people’s lives, in local places where multiple inequalities exist. We can do this by connecting, advocating and enabling people to move more.
Working Together to Achieve Systemic Change
By working together, we can overcome more challenges and find new ways to help people in the community be active.
Our Partnerships team are our community-based leads in designated localities across the county. They work together with local and national partners, organisations, groups, volunteers and activity providers. The community-based lead for Torbay is Louise Marshall. You can contact Louise by emailing:
Louise.Marshall@activedevon.org
You can also read Louise’s bio on our Meet the Team page.
Our Work in Torbay
- Supporting the delivery of Torbay Council’s physical activity ten-year strategy – Torbay on the Move. The strategy includes eight key themes which focus on helping those in the community that are impacted by multiple inequalities and who would benefit most from increasing activity levels. Working from a strategic level through to a community level, Torbay on the Move is embedding a whole systems approach to physical activity.
