About Move

Starting your Move journey can feel daunting, it's time for a new start, but with so many options out there, finding the place to start can be tricky. That's why we're keeping it simple - you just need to Move.

Move is more than a message though, it's a movement, and as part of that we want to ensure that everyone, no matter what their circumstances, can move more as part of their everyday life.

Our goal

We want everyone in County Durham, and we mean everyone, to get moving, and keep moving more as part of their everyday life.

What we're doing

Everything we do is to support County Durham to get moving.

First, we provide tips, support, and signposting services to people who may feel like they're facing a barrier when it comes to exercising more or need guidance for a specific situation.

We are also providing a dedicated one to one support service, which allows you to receive tailored advice on how to move more. To access this, you just need to fill in the form at Move - Start your journey!.

Finally, we're here to help you find your move - the activity/activities you would like to do to get moving. Visit Find an activity.
