Keeping the Derbyshire Dales active. Our aim is to create a more vibrant and healthy place to live and work.

This is achieved by providing local opportunities for people to get active, get healthy and get involved thus increasing participation in getting started, staying and succeeding in sport, and physical activity. The provision of a diverse range of accessible sport, health and recreational activities and services helps to achieve this. Our aims are to :

- Increase participation in sport and physical activity for children, young people, adults and older people to create safer, stronger, healthier communities
- Develop a club / group network which provides quality and accessible sport and physical activity
- To promote / develop and sustain a quality, enthusiastic workforce
- To manage and develop existing and new or improved facilities

We work with a wide range of partners from the voluntary, public and private and community sector to provide a broad and diverse range of services. The aim is to widen opportunities for people living and working in the Derbyshire Dales to become more active, and by doing so, to improve their health, well-being and quality of life.

Yesterday was the last walk of the year for the Walk Moor Programme 2026. These walks have been extremely popular due to the stunning locations and the friendly , very knowledgeable Walk Leaders. Yesterday was no exception and we had a fabulous walk around Longshaw and White Edge led by Simon. It was perfect Autumn walking weather and we enjoyed some glorious views. A huge thank you to all the volunteer Walk Leaders who make this programme possible.

These walks will resume again in March 2027 - and will be advertised on the Derbyshire Dales District Council, Eastern Moors and NE Derbyshire district council websites.

If you would like to be added to the mailing list to receive any updates then please email Sam at [email protected]
