What the notice says

Active Together is looking for trusted local organisations based within our priority neighbourhoods to deploy an Active Neighbourhood Champion. The Active Neighbourhood Champion will help local people, groups and organisations connect, shape ideas together and build on the strengths already present within their community. Working as part of Leicester's Sport England Place Partnership programme, the Active Neighbourhood Champions will support residents, community groups, services and partners to create more opportunities for people to move in ways that matter to them. This is not a traditional sports development role. We are looking for people who are naturally connected, curious and committed to helping local people influence change in their neighbourhood.
