Active Norfolk

Building children and young people's enjoyment and appreciation of physical activity early in life can help them develop healthy habits that will set them on track to lead a healthy and active lifestyle.

Active Norfolk website (opens new window) has a dedicated Children and Young Person's team that works with schools and early years settings to improve outcomes for pupils using sport and physical activity.

Their work includes raising awareness about the benefits of physical activity for young people, providing practical resources to increase physical activity in schools, and providing impartial support and advice for primary schools to make best use of government funding.
