Get Hull Active

Supporting Sport England’s place-based expansion through Youth Voice work.

Hull’s conversation about physical activity

We are working together with Get Hull Active to understand how people in Hull can engage in more physical activity. The benefits of physical activity are well documented and have a profound impact on physical and mental health. However, there are also a host of reasons why somebody might be inactive. It is important that we understand what drives people’s current levels of activity so that as a city, we can make changes to create a healthier environment for people to be active and reach their potential.

StreetGames’ role is to engage young people, aged 11 – 18 years old, who are less likely to be physically active, to gather a range of views around young people’s:

  • Perception of physical activity
  • Current activity levels and barriers
  • Future of physical activity

We will do this in creative and diverse ways, working alongside trusted adults and steered by young people.

Our plan

  • January 2025: Reach out to trusted organisations to shape the approach to meet the diverse needs of young people.
  • February 2025: Engage young people, including through peer research, surveys, workshops and events.
  • March 2025: Continue and finalise engagement activities.
  • April 2025: Review insight and present and test initial learning with partners and young people.
  • May 2025: Synthesise insight and develop a report and present initial learning with partners and young people.
  • June 2025: Collate insight alongside learning from adult and child populations (ongoing work of partners).
  • July 2025: Submit proposal to Sport England for potential investment in Hull.
