In partnership with Sport England, and with £348k of funding from the National Lottery, TeamPolice is excited to announce the launch of 1TeamActive. A pilot sport and activity programme to improve the health, lifestyle, and wellbeing of our Policing family.

The Policing family is a unique section of our community. The very nature of their work means they often encounter stressful situations that most of the population will never have to experience. Policing is demanding, both physically and mentally, and studies have shown that this often has a detrimental effect on both their mental and physical wellbeing.

Using Police internal systems participants will be signposted to 1TeamActive, the pilot will involve four Forces hosting three events in spring, summer, and autumn. These 1TeamActive ‘introduction days’ will provide an opportunity for candidates and their families to learn, to meet others, and to try different activities in a supportive, fun and encouraging environment.

Following on from the initial event there will be 8 to 12 weeks of further activities – including a variety of online resources and training classes to provide flexible and encouraging help to keep participants engaged and, more importantly, active! The support will cover all levels of ability to enable full family participation.
