ukactive is the trade body for the fitness, leisure and physical activity sector, representing more than 3,000 members and partners across the private, public and third sectors \u2014 from major organisations to local community groups. We provide high\u2011value membership services, meaningful connections and the conditions for the sector to grow, innovate and thrive.

Our Vision and Mission<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

Our vision is a healthier nation, achieved by getting more people, more active, more often. We believe physical activity should be accessible to everyone, and that a strong, connected and influential sector is essential to making this happen.<\/p>

We do this by delivering high\u2011value membership services, facilitating high\u2011impact partnerships, producing sector intelligence, supporting campaigns, and influencing policy as the voice of physical activity in the UK. Through collaboration, transparency and evidence\u2011led advocacy, we enable our members and partners to grow, succeed and deliver meaningful impact that improves the health of the nation.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
