Active Devon

Pictures for the People produced a video for Sport England highlighting Active Devon, one of 43 active partnerships across the country working to reduce inequalities and help people live more active lives. The film showcases how the programme engages communities, supports underserved groups, and encourages participation in sport and physical activity across Devon. As part of Sport England’s Useful Projects series, the film complements other community sport projects we’ve produced, demonstrating how community sport can improve health, wellbeing, and connection.

Measuring Impact and Looking Ahead

The video highlights Active Devon’s innovative approaches, including their focus on environmental responsibility. The partnership has developed a simple carbon calculator to track the footprint of their operations and events, helping staff make informed decisions on travel, energy use, purchasing, and food. By linking environmental awareness with physical activity initiatives, Active Devon demonstrates how sport can be both socially and ecologically impactful. The film features interviews with programme leads, footage of local events, and examples of community engagement, providing a compelling resource for promoting participation and inspiring others.
