Rise North East

We work across Gateshead, Newcastle, North Tyneside, Northumberland, South Tyneside and Sunderland with a wide range of local, regional and national partners, including local authority leisure teams, public health, planners, transport teams, the education, housing and criminal justice sectors to name a few, to make it easier and a more attractive proposition for people to be physically active.
We are particularly passionate about helping under-represented groups and those who are currently moving for less than 30 minutes per week.
We are a charity, funded and supported by Sport England, and a number of other national and local organisations, and are part of a network of 42 Active Partnerships across the country.
Our vision is to create a higher quality of life for communities that need it the most in Northumberland and Tyne & wear, using the power of physical activity.
