In Northamptonshire, our local 'Move Northamptonshire: Active, Happier, Together' Campaign is all about moving from "I-llness" to "We-llness"—recognising that when we move together, we find the strength to weather life’s storms.
Utilising the monthly themes, we focus on five simple ways to nurture change in our local communities:
Move: Finding joy in physical movement to boost our mood and support our health.
Place: Rooting our actions in the heart of our own heritage and local neighbourhoods.
Active: Embracing small, "tiny" habits that make being active feel doable every day.
Kinder: Using the 10 Keys to Happier Living to nourish our internal wellbeing.
Together: Building social well-being through kindness, altruism, and caring for one another.
Whether you are just starting out in life, navigating busy years, or ageing well, this approach is designed for you. By sharing stories and using consistent, relatable language, we are working together to build a community where everyone has the autonomy and support to thrive.
Our local events calendar is the perfect space to bring these themes to life. By coming along to our gatherings, workshops, and community socials, you can actively engage with each month's theme, share positive practices, and become a part of a supportive local network working together to create a happier world.
Have a look at what's coming up and we hope you can join us.
