Moving Southwark towards a healthier future.

Southwark has always been shaped by its people - diverse, ambitious and full of energy. At Move Southwark, we believe movement has the power to create healthier lives, stronger communities and a better future for our borough.

About Us

Real people. Real lives. Real movement.

We’re here for everyone who calls Southwark home.

Parents balancing busy schedules. Workers finding time for themselves. Families making memories. Athletes chasing goals. First timers, comebackers and people who never thought fitness was “for them.”

Because our community isn’t one type of person, it’s thousands of different stories, lifestyles and reasons to move.

No pressure. No judgement. Just welcoming spaces where everyone can start.

More than leisure centres.

When people are healthier, communities thrive.

Being active supports more than physical fitness. It helps improve confidence, independence, mental wellbeing and quality of life.

By helping more people move more often, we’re supporting a Southwark where residents can live well, stay connected and continue contributing to the communities around them.

Our role in a healthier Southwark

As part of Southwark Council, we’re proud to support the health and wellbeing of our communities.

We believe movement can have a powerful impact - improving confidence, supporting independence, bringing people together and helping residents feel their best.

Through our centres, programmes and partnerships, we’re creating more opportunities for people across Southwark to move more, connect more and live well.

Because when Southwark moves more, we don’t just create healthier people, we help create stronger communities.

Supporting healthier futures

Small changes today can make a big difference tomorrow.

By helping people stay active, connected and supported, we’re encouraging positive habits that contribute to long-term health and wellbeing.
