Movement with Communities – Our Work in Torridge

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 leads for Torridge are Hannah Shackleton and Neil Blackburn. You can contact Hannah and Neil by emailing:

Hannah.Shackleton@activedevon.org

Neil.Blackburn@activedevon.org

You can also read their bios on our Meet the Team page.
