Information for public health professionals
Through strong partnership working, building on the great work that already takes place across our county, we want to engage communities in designing and advocating more opportunities for everyone to become more physically active.
The plan is to create a sustainable approach to getting residents of all ages moving more and feeling great, with a particular focus on reducing the number of inactive people across the County.
A flyer, guide and digital toolkit for the Active Bucks project are available for local organisations.
Please keep in touch with the Active Bucks team to hear more about the ongoing engagement process, and how you can be involved.
Stakeholder launch event
It was great to see over 100 delegates and 40 organisations attend the stakeholder launch on the 23 April 2015, to find out more about the project and how they could get involved. Everyone attending made a pledge for our pledge wall to show their commitment to making the project a success.

Active Bucks Introduction
Sarah Mills, Public Health Principal, Buckinghamshire County Council
The Active Bucks project aspires to get everyone to become more active, more often. Funding is being allocated to each of Buckinghamshire's 19 local areas to support the development of new activities. These activities may include weekly community group walks or yoga sessions in a local park.
The Active Bucks resident survey was carried out in the Summer of 2015. The recommendation reports listed below detail the overall health of residents in each local area and the results of the Active Bucks resident survey together with recommendations for which new activities should be funded.
