Learn more about Connect from Move Consulting Director, Craig Blain
Guided by our expert team, Connect provides practical support for developing your local system, in line with the latest evidence, thinking, and national guidance.
There are four key pillars covered across the programme shown below.
Physical activity for health pathways describe the connections, processes and partnerships that help people access the right support to move more and improve their health.
A whole-system approach helps organisations identify and address the barriers people face, particularly those who experience the greatest inequalities. Strengthening connections across a place can make support easier to access, more joined-up and more responsive to people’s needs.
As specialists in pathway design and whole-system working, the team at Move Consulting combine our expertise in developing national guidance. We have practical experience of helping organisations to create and strengthen physical activity for health pathways.
Recognising that guidance alone does not create change, we want to bring our expertise and insight together through Connect. This is our collaborative development programme designed to turn guidance into effective, sustainable local action.
