with the announcement from Government that Step 3 will commence from 17 May, the impact for organised sport and physical activity, alongside the aforementioned industries, is also hugely significant

Levels of physical activity increased and inactivity levels decrease among adults in Northumberland and Tyne & Wear despite pandemic.

Rise wants to spread the word about the integral part volunteers play when it comes to sport and physical activity, particularly during the last 12 months, so we’re producing a ‘thank you volunteers’ video and we’d love you to be part of it.

Value (noun) “the regard that something is held to deserve; the importance, worth, or usefulness of something.”

To celebrate International Women’s Day, Rise North East has linked with FitSwarm, to arrange free virtual fitness classes for women in Northumberland and Tyne & Wear.

Rise North East has teamed up with Together For Children to support and encourage children in the city of Sunderland to become more active during the second lockdown.

“Whilst I am not here to debate the merits or politics around the decisions and process to close schools, I do want to shine a light on the significant concern about the impact on children and young people’s ability to be physically active during Lockdown 3.”

Rise North East is launching a virtual learning course for young people.
