Our approach

We work with:

• Schools

• Private Sector
• Leisure Providers
• Charities
• Coaches & Volunteers
• Influencers
• Public Sector
• … and others

Working collaboratively

“When ‘I’ is replaced by “we” even ‘illness’ becomes ‘wellness’.” – Scharf

We believe in working collaboratively to make a difference. The scale of the challenge to tackle inactivity is vast and we truly believe that we can achieve more, maximise resources, avoid duplication and positively impact more people if we work together.

Our Aims:

1. Engage people with complex lives
2. Keep people living well
3. Develop & support effective systems and place

As important as what we do, is how we go about doing it. We are delighted that 80% of partners surveyed in 2018 are satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of support and advice given [by Think Active] and 80% of partners reported that we added value to their work.

Culture

We aim to thrive. We prioritise creating and nurturing a culture of kindness, consideration, appreciation and tolerance. We will treat ourselves, each other and everyone that we encounter when we are representing Think Active in this way and we should expect same in return.
