Get Out Get Active (2016 to 2023)
Get Out Get Active (GOGA) was an exciting UK wide programme that supported disabled and non-disabled people to enjoy being active together. It was made possible by founding funder Spirit of 2012 and additional investment from Sport England and the London Marathon Charitable Trust. All partners focused on getting some of the UK’s least active people moving more through fun and inclusive activities.
GOGA went far beyond increasing activity levels, it strengthened community spirit, increased confidence and improved mental health. The programme increased the demand for, and the accessibility of, activities. It was successful at tapping into people’s real life motivations such as building friendships, maintaining health, having fun and progressing in life.
GOGA was delivered in:
Get Out Get Active in Action
GOGA was originally launched in 2016 in the Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council area and Derry and Strabane District Council area. While the programme officially ended in both areas in 2019 many of the programmes established continue. Click on the links below to find out what GOGA has achieved in Northern Ireland to date.
