Somerset Activity and Sports Partnership (SASP) is dedicated to increasing the health and happiness of residents in Somerset through physical activity and sport.

SASP is a charitable trust and a member of the nation-wide network of 43 Active Partnership's, sharing a mission of transforming lives through sport and physical activity. Each Active Partnership is independent, governed by a Board of Trustees and funded through Sport England, and grant giving bodies, companies and individuals whom share their mission.

Our vision is to...

"Achieve healthier and happier communities in Somerset through physical activity and sport"

We inspire and enable positive life choices through sport and physical activity and we do this by:

  • Providing accessible opportunities locally for all ages and abilities, prioritising those who are least active.
  • Addressing inequalities and removing barriers to physical activity and sport.
  • Supporting clubs, communities, schools and the workforce to embrace physical activity.
  • Bringing together organisations and partners to create positive change to enable active lives for all.
