About Preston Moves
Preston Moves is a city-wide partnership working with communities across Preston to help more people move more. We’re collaborating with local organisations and prioritising areas where people face the biggest barriers to being active. Our work is starting in Deepdale, St Matthew’s, Fishwick & Frenchwood and Ribbleton where civic, community and faith leaders have asked us to focus on how Preston is supporting children and young people; whether our community spaces make it easy for people to be active; how activity supports community health and care, and how we can communicate about movement in a way that encourages, rather than alienates, people. In 2026 we will be working with communities to understand what’s already happening locally, what helps people move more, and what gets in the way. And we’re supporting community leaders with fully-funded training to help them feel more confident in leading and coordinating work. Preston Moves is supported by Sport England and coordinated by a team from Preston City Council, Active Lancashire, GLL, Lancashire and Cumbria NHS Integrated Care Board, Preston North End Community and Education Trust and These Four Words. Connect with us to collaborate, to hear more about our training or to ask a question - either DM us here, connect with one of the team or email Programme Manager Amy Thompson-Spears a.thompson-spears@preston.gov.uk
