It is one of the four biggest proximate causes of ill health nationally.<\/p>\n<p>We are often a collective of passionate and experienced leaders, organisations and individual(s) who want to improve the lives of people, but we can sometimes look confusing to the outside world, with fragmented key messages to local place and in advocacy to decision makers.<\/p>\n<p>In order to better embrace the breadth of partners and expertise across the physical activity system, and encourage real change, a range of partners have come together to collaborate as the Place-based Physical Activity Leadership Network (PPALN).<\/p>\n<p>This emerging network will focus on finding the best and most effective and efficient ways of raising levels of physical activity; particularly addressing the stubborn inequalities that exist in many local communities where activity rates are much lower than other areas. Local government\u2019s role as place leaders will be at the heart of the network.<\/p>\n<p>To enable this ambition, PPALN will act as a leadership system through which stakeholders, can better collaborate nationally, regionally, sub regionally and locally.<\/p>\n<p>The PPALN will seek to work closely with stakeholders to compliment the wider national strategic landscape, where meetings are sometimes convened, but with a sub-set or part of a complex system e.g. The Swimming Alliance, the NHS Horizon\u2019s work, Sport for Development Coalition, or the National Sector Partners Group for Sport, and many more. We must not duplicate, but build connection, inclusivity, and a selfless \u2018togetherness\u2019 to deliver our shared ambition.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;hidden_above_768&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1722595312814{background-image: url(https:\/\/cloa.org.uk\/ppaln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Back-of-Kids-on-Ladder.png?id=918) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12&#8243; min_height=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;1px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;four_by_three&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_spacing=&#8221;0px&#8221; columns_right=&#8221;yes&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644236709202{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639994277857{margin-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;hidden_above_768&#8243;]<style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e07efee8415{font-size:34px;font-family:Ubuntu;font-weight:700;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-text-left vcex_69e07efee8415\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Scope of work - A Systems Approach<\/span><\/h2>[vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; font_family=&#8221;Helvetica Neue&#8221;]The physical activity system does not have organisational boundaries and therefore implying that there can be a sectoral approach (i.e. a \u201cphysical activity sector\u201d) is not helpful. Raising levels of physical activity is a shared challenge across many stakeholders that occupy this space nationally, regionally and locally. It is a complex system, and oversimplifying it is unrealistic.<\/p>\n<p>Our task will be to support the efforts of others by clarifying language and understanding, influencing national policy and regulation, lobbying for resources, building relationships (across professions and agencies), identifying and sharing good practice, encouraging innovation, encouraging the role of communities and citizens in solutions, developing leadership, workforce skills, competencies and diversity, and encouraging the better use of our physical and human assets.<\/p>\n<p>The PPALN is on a journey, and so at the time of writing, the term of reference have been agreed by the initial convening partners (many of whom were part of the Local Government Physical Activity Partnership), plus lots of other stakeholders embraced on the journey.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;hidden_above_768&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1722595371508{background-image: url(https:\/\/cloa.org.uk\/ppaln\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Runners.png?id=919) !important;background-position: center !important;background-repeat: no-repeat !important;background-size: cover !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-offset-0 vc_col-lg-5 vc_col-md-offset-0 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-sm-offset-0 vc_col-xs-12&#8243; min_height=&#8221;100%&#8221;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;0px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;four_by_three&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; full_width=&#8221;stretch_row&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644332613665{background-color: #a2228e !important;}&#8221;][vc_column]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\"><\/div><style>.vcex-heading.vcex_69e07efee8b7f{color:#ffffff;font-size:34px;font-family:Ubuntu;font-weight:700;}<\/style><h2 class=\"vcex-heading vcex-heading-plain vcex-module wpex-heading wpex-text-2xl wpex-text-center vcex_69e07efee8b7f\"><span class=\"vcex-heading-inner wpex-inline-block\">Our Focus<\/span><\/h2><div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:15px;\"><\/div><style>.vcex-button.vcex_69e07efee96e4{background:#ffffff;color:#a2228e!important;}.vcex-button.vcex_69e07efee96e4:hover{background:#eeeeee!important;color:#000000!important;}<\/style><div class=\"theme-button-wrap textcenter wpex-clr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/cloa.org.uk\/ppaln\/our-focus\/\" class=\"vcex-button theme-button flat large align-center wpex-mb-0 inline vcex_69e07efee96e4\"><span class=\"vcex-button-inner theme-button-inner wpex-flex wpex-flex-wrap wpex-items-center wpex-justify-center\">Find Out More<\/span><\/a><\/div> [\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row full_width=&#8221;stretch_row_content_no_spaces&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644227228602{padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644227248514{padding-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;fadeIn&#8221; content_placement=&#8221;middle&#8221; column_spacing=&#8221;0px&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1644236363923{margin-bottom: 30px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1639994270155{padding-right: 30px !important;padding-left: 30px !important;}&#8221; offset=&#8221;vc_col-lg-7 vc_col-md-12 vc_col-xs-12&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;30px&#8221; el_class=&#8221;hidden_above_768&#8243;][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;15px&#8221;][vc_column_text text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; font_family=&#8221;Helvetica Neue&#8221; el_class=&#8221;align_left_mobile&#8221;]Physically activity has profound impacts on individuals and communities physical, mental and social health and wellbeing.
