Across England, partners are coming together around a shared belief: every child and young person deserves positive, meaningful experiences of sport and physical activity, so they can build a lifelong relationship with movement.
The Positive Experiences Collective, funded by Sport England through the National Lottery and led by thinkpublic, is helping turn this vision into reality.
Over the past 18-months, Sport England has seen growing confidence, innovation and collaboration across education, sport and physical activity partners as they adopt a child-first, physical literacy-informed approach. This shift is reshaping policy and practice so children can build a lifelong love and relationship with being active, leading to happier, healthier lives.
