Abstract
Active Withernsea (AW) is an innovative pilot program run by East Riding of Yorkshire Council (ERYC) and funded by Sport England, aiming to increase physical-activity levels in the small seaside town of Withernsea, East Yorkshire, UK. Since 2019, a community development team has supported residents to become more physically active in the short term, while simultaneously working for wider system changes in order to create a more enabling environment for physical activity in the longer term. As Sport England's deepening and expansion plan rolls out the focus for the program is in a unique place where it will move from a hyper local place based approach focusing on just one town to working across East Yorkshire as a whole, with three focus areas. This paper will explore how the learning from Active Withernsea will form the plan for the East Yorkshire Place Partner and the development of a Systemic framework to tackle physical inactivity and reduce inequalities to physical activity and also bring a systemic approach to a local authority.
