The new Let’s Move Lincolnshire website is a one stop shop for residents of Lincolnshire looking for ideas and inspiration about how to be active. At the heart of the website is an OpenActive powered Club & Activity Finder, which provides a user-friendly search for people to find opportunities to be active in their local area that are most appropriate for them.

The website also hosts information about walking routes, cycling, and provide inspiration through blogs and stories from real people in Lincolnshire.

The site is being developed and shaped by asking residents of Lincolnshire what is most important to them. It aims to break down barriers to participation through using simple, appealing messaging and images of real people in real places in Lincolnshire.
The website will continue to develop and grow as we add more activities, and shape content in response to feedback from Lincolnshire residents.

Let's Move Lincolnshire is a county-wide campaign to get more people active. We are inviting [physical activity clubs, groups and organisations to help make the Let's Move Lincolnshire website as useful as possible. We’d love you to contribute content about ways to be active.

We want to showcase all of the ways people can be active in the green and blue spaces of Lincolnshire. For example, the parks and woodland children can play in, the skate parks, the walking and cycling routes and trails; the woods. We will also be listing events that provide options for people to be active.

Events

For the events section, we are looking for events that take place each year or are one-off events. (Anything that happens frequently such as every week or every month will feature on the activity finder). If you have an event in your area, such as a walking festival, a cycling event, a running event or an open day that involved any kind of activity, you can list your event on the event calendar.

Share 'Your Stories'

The website include case studies and testimonials from the people of Lincolnshire. We know that it is important for people to see ‘people like me’ represented and stories to inspire and encourage them to be more active, and give them ideas of suitable activities they could try. The site features a range of Stories from people describing how being physically active has benefitted them. We are particularly interested in featuring case studies of people who have used physical activity to make a positive change in their lives or successfully overcome barriers to being active.

If you know of somebody that has a great story they would be willing to share, or you would like to inspire people with your own story please get in touch with info@letsmovelincolnshire.com
