Get Out, Get Active (GOGA)
In Norfolk, Active Norfolk is leading local delivery, working with communities, leisure providers and partners to create inclusive opportunities that are shaped by the people who use them.
Rather than delivering a one-size-fits-all programme, GOGA focuses on listening to local people, understanding barriers to participation and co-designing activities that are welcoming, accessible and sustainable. Through this approach, we are helping more people to become active, build confidence, improve wellbeing and feel connected to their communities.
This approach builds on previous work around user voice, ensuring disabled people are not simply invited to attend sessions, but actively shape them. From choosing activities, to deciding timings and venues, participants are involved from day one. The result is activity that fits real lives, rather than assumptions.

Looking ahead: Our future plans for GOGA in Norfolk
We are continuing to work with disabled people, community organisations and activity providers to create opportunities that are inclusive by design.
By building workforce confidence, embedding co-production and strengthening local partnerships, we aim to ensure more people across Norfolk can access enjoyable physical activity opportunities close to home.
As part of our wider commitment to tackling inequalities, GOGA will continue to help shape how we create welcoming, accessible and sustainable opportunities for movement across the county, ensuring that everyone has the chance to be active, regardless of background, ability or circumstance.
