#LutonLetsGetActive
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic there has been a significant reduction in engagement in sport and physical activity locally with national lockdowns limiting opportunities for residents to be active. The campaign #LutonLetsGetActive under the umbrella of Healthy aims to support the return of sport and physical activity, encouraging and motivating Luton residents to be active, addressing the barriers to getting active and offering reassurance that sport and physical activity can be undertaken safely. The #LutonLetsGetActive campaign will promote existing opportunities to be active across Luton and build on habits developed during the national lockdowns such as, walking, jogging or cycling.
The campaign will also complement the Luton 2040 vision by helping to reduce health inequalities and improving the quality of lives of Luton residents.
