Making Movement a Priority in Castle Point

Castle Point is closely aligned with Rochford, with the two localities taking a joint approach to this agenda through the formation of the Active Alliance, made up of representatives from Active Essex, both respective local Councils and local organisations within the statutory, voluntary and private sectors. Contributing to the Castle Point and Rochford Health & Wellbeing strategy, they work collaboratively with local groups, sports clubs and Essex-wide partners to promote and provide opportunities for increased physical activity and health and wellbeing opportunities for residents.
