Find Your Active Thurrock is one of 14 District Networks set up across Essex to lead, develop and co-ordinate sport and physical activity in partnership with Active Essex. We work closely with local sports clubs, leisure centres and organisations to promote physical activity, health & wellbeing.

Sport England is expanding its Place Partnerships programme, which will see £190 million of National Lottery and Exchequer funding invested in up to 80-100 new places across England over the next 5 years. Targeted local investment and resources will help to increase activity levels, decrease inactivity and breakdown the barriers and inequalities that prevent people from playing sport or being active.

Since 2018, Sport England has tested Place Partnerships through a place-based approach of working with ‘Local Delivery Pilots’ in 12 of the country’s most disadvantaged and least active communities. This has included Essex, where particular focus has been in Basildon, Colchester and Tendring. Sport England have chosen three new Place Partnerships for Essex: 1) Castle Point, 2) Harlow, 3) Thurrock.
