Nine out of ten (92%) people who took part in the Get Out Get Active (GOGA) programme reported improved mental wellbeing, according to the latest impact report.
The Activity Alliance said the programme transforms lives by helping people become more active, feel better, and get more involved in their communities. The programme brings disabled and non-disabled people together to be active saw 1,672 participants take part in 2024-25.
The report showed although half of participants were physically inactive when the programme began (47%), four in five increased their activity levels (81%) and three quarters (74%) maintained this even after the programme had ended.
Made possible by founding funder Spirit of 2012, and additional investment from Sport England and London Marathon Foundation, GOGA is led by Activity Alliance and continues to be focused on getting some of the UK’s least active people moving.
Helen Derby, Activity Alliance’s Strategic Lead of Programmes said: “Get Out Get Active puts people at the heart of everything it does. Allowing local communities to shape the opportunities that they want. The figures in our latest impact report show that it works, and it’s no surprise that it continues to flourish.
“This impact report puts numbers to the thousands of smiles that have been had up and down the country at fun and inclusive activities.”
GOGA’s commitment to representation is clear, with almost three in 10 (28%) of its volunteers living with an impairment or long-term health condition. In 2024–25 alone, GOGA reached 1,672 individual participants, delivered 179 activities, and supported 372 volunteers.
Since its inception almost 10 years ago, GOGA has engaged 37,443 individual participants through 3,510 activities. It has supported 4,490 volunteers, and delivered 3,973 training sessions. The programme also delivers significant financial value, generating £4.60 in social, environmental, and economic returns for every £1 invested, including £3.70 in wellbeing benefits.
