Every Body Moves
Every Body Moves powered by Toyota is the new way to discover inclusive local opportunities to become more active.
Our ambition is to create the UK’s biggest fun and vibrant community for players, parents and coaches to share their experiences of Every Body Moves, and find useful hints, tips and information on what’s happening near you. This includes in depth listings and all the information you need to connect to local inclusive opportunities.
We believe there’s a sport or activity out there for everyone – and by highlighting inclusive activities and one-off events which able bodied and disabled people can do together, we hope Every Body Moves can inform and inspire people to discover something new.

Everyday Active
Our Everyday Active campaign is about supporting you to start making everyday moves that will make a real difference to your health and happiness. You don’t have to be a sporty person or spend hours in the gym. Taking those small steps to move more can have a huge impact on your day-to-day life.
We want to help make activity a way of life for people in Kent and Medway, offering support and encouragement that will help you move more in your everyday life. Visit the campaign webpages to take a look at stories from across the county, read our guides to becoming more active, and find an activity that you’ll love.
