YMCA Activate England was an Active England funded national initiative to widen access and increase participation in sport and physical activity particularly among inactive and hard-to-reach people.
The project ran from June 2004-September 2007 in 56 YMCAs, engaging over 8,000 participants across three programmes targeting distinct groups:
The Children's Interactive programme - children aged 5 - 14 years;
The Challenge programme - young people living in YMCA supported accommodation or attending youth programmes or training courses; and
The Pathway to Activity programme - exercise recommendation scheme aimed mostly at adults, building partnerships with health providers and community groups.
The project was independently evaluated by Leisure Futures and found to be:
Successful in attracting non-participants into participation in sport and physical activity;
A cost-effective health intervention; and
An exemplar of good practice in programme design and delivery.
