This is what Move Together Bucks is all about 🧡

Every person who joins the programme has their own story, goals and challenges. It's a privilege to be part of that journey and to see the difference that personalised support can have.

Stories like these remind us that progress isn't always measured in miles or minutes, but in confidence gained, barriers overcome and feeling able to enjoy life a little more.

What a brilliant day at our June Partner Forum 🙌

A full room, every seat taken, and partners from across Bucks and Milton Keynes coming together with real energy and purpose exactly what collaboration looks like in action.

We hope you found the breakout sessions, partner stories and shared learning valuable, creating real space to connect and learn from the incredible work happening across our places. The update on the Milton Keynes Place Expansion Programme sparked some great conversations, with plenty of ideas already taking shape.

A huge shoutout to all of our speakers, and a special mention to Chris Perks for his thought-provoking reflections. It was also great to be hosted by YMCA Milton Keynes, who provided the perfect space to bring partners together.

Most of all, thank you to every partner in the room, your collaboration, shared leadership and commitment is what drives this work forward.

This Bike Week, we’re celebrating the power of cycling to transform communities 🚲

At Two Mile Ash School in Milton Keynes, what started as a response to congestion and safety concerns has grown into a whole-school movement helping pupils and families build healthier, more active habits every day. From their weekly Bike Bus to embedding cycling into the curriculum, the school has created safer streets, more confident young riders, and a stronger sense of community. 🚸✨

It’s a brilliant example of what’s possible when leadership, partnerships and purpose come together to change the way we move.

We’re excited to welcome Chris Perks as a key speaker 📢 at our June Partner Event.

Chris will explore how system change plays out in practice, and the balance between national direction and local leadership when it comes to creating impact.

Expect insight on 💡:
- Where capacity for change comes from
- How place-based work is shaped at different levels
- What it really takes to lead change across systems
This is a chance to step back, reflect, and think differently about how we lead and collaborate.

June Partner Event - Connection Through Place 🤝

Place matters, It shapes how people experience the world around them. 🌍 From the opportunities they have to be active, to the connections they build and the environments they navigate every day. Access to spaces, local relationships, and community context all influence who gets to move, how, and why.

Place-based working recognises that no two communities are the same. By understanding local needs, listening to lived experience, and aligning people and resources, we can create more inclusive, relevant solutions that tackle inactivity and reduce inequalities in a meaningful, lasting way 👏.

At our June Partner Event, we’ll be sharing how MK is bringing this to life through:
- A snapshot of the Milton Keynes Place Expansion Programme (PEP)
- Insight connecting national strategy to local delivery
- Real stories from partners working in communities across Bucks and MK

This event will be hosted in Milton Keynes 📍, connecting directly with the place where this work is happening.

⭐ Securing the Place Universal Offer and what it means for Buckinghamshire 🌍

This investment will initially focus on Aylesbury South-West📍, where levels of inactivity remain high and wider challenges such a deprivation and access to safe and welcoming spaces continue to shape people’s ability to be active.

In Aylesbury South-West only 44.9% of children and young people in the area are currently active, and levels of deprivation and low-income households are significantly higher than the county average. 📉

This investment will support partners and communities to work together to address the wider systems that shape activity, from access to green spaces and safe routes, to transport, housing and local environments.

By starting here, we have the opportunity too:
- Work closely with communities to understand what matters most
- Test and learn what works
- Build stronger, more connected systems across partners
- Create insight that can shape future work across Bucks.

Crucially, learning from this work will be shared across Buckinghamshire to support wider, long‑term change.
