The #MoveWithUs campaign encourages children and young people across Essex to engage in physical activity in a way that suits them best. Whether it’s dancing, walking, team sports or something completely unique, we want every young person to find joy in movement.
As part of this mission, the campaign’s ambassador programme gives young people aged 13–17 the chance to have their voices heard and help shape the future of physical activity in Essex. Ambassadors meet with us throughout the year, both online and face-to-face, to share their ideas and insights through fun, interactive workshops. These sessions include exciting activities like ninja warrior and laser tag, as well as online games and quizzes to keep things engaging. All feedback is shared directly with the Active Essex Board to influence future strategies and programmes.
For those who want to go the extra mile, there are plenty of opportunities to get involved further, whether it’s tagging us on social media, writing blog posts or volunteering at our events. We’re looking for passionate young people who want to make a difference and help others discover the power of movement.
