Move Together Blackpool work within communities to increase the opportunities for everyone to move a little more each day. We celebrate people’s unique strengths and leadership skills and work together to make a big difference to the way things are. We’re collaborating with schools, healthcare workers and within neighbourhoods.
There are different ways improve our health, wellbeing and relationships; from dancing under the mirror ball to walking the dog in Stanley Park, but it’s not easy for everyone to move as much as they would like to. Within the Systems Leadership program we look at the different layers within a system, to help better understand where the barriers are, and begin the journey to help you solve them. We don’t have all the answers and we won’t be able to solve it alone.
We’re here to chat, listen, reflect and work together to re-imagine our town with safe, welcoming places where people are living happier and healthier lives.
Creating healthier, more active communities doesn’t happen by chance. Here’s how our approach makes movement part of everyday life.
Together
We bring people together — from schools, healthcare, and community groups — to design fresh, local approaches that break down barriers to being active.
Empower
By focusing on relationships, not just programmes, we empower residents and organisations to lead their own movement journeys and unlock lasting change.
Lead
We train local leaders, spark fresh thinking, and influence decision-makers — helping movement become a priority in every corner of Blackpool’s systems.
We’re creating change in every corner of Blackpool. Here are just some of the ways we’re making movement part of daily life, for everyone.
Active Health & Care is about bringing movement into the heart of how we look after ourselves and each other. By connecting health professionals, community teams, and local residents, we’re helping Blackpool move more, feel better, and live well — together.
Children & Young People is about helping every child and young person in Blackpool experience the joy and benefits of movement — every day. By working with young people to teach that being active is part of learning, play, and wellbeing, we’re creating environments where they can thrive.
Move Together Blackpool works alongside local communities to break down barriers and build confidence in movement. Together, we’re creating more welcoming, accessible spaces where people can connect, be active, and live healthier, happier lives.
Our Systems Leadership Programme helps people across Blackpool see the bigger picture — how our systems connect, and how we can work together to make change happen. Over two interactive days, you’ll explore what systems leadership means in practice.

The idea for a young person’s leadership course was sparked during a community of learning session in October. A different space led to new ideas and fresh conversations — and from that, a shared vision began to take shape.
