What We Do
Work With Us
We take a collaborative approach to embed system changes so that business as usual for system partners supports people to be more active.
Slades Park
Slades Park in Bournemouth is operated by Active Dorset Charitable Incorporated Organisation and BCP Council.
Recognising the positive impact of physical activity
We want sport and physical activity to be recognised for the positive impact it has through improved physical and mental wellbeing, educational attainment, social cohesion and economic development on the lives of the people in Dorset.
