We Are Now Officially ActiveWestminster!

by

We Are Now Officially ActiveWestminster!

We’re thrilled to share some exciting news! Our team has a new name: ActiveWestminster!

This change marks an important step forward, bringing our name in line with the work we do every day to support inclusive participation, wellbeing, and community activity across Westminster.

Why the name change?

We’ve moved away from our former name, Sport, Leisure and Active Communities, because ActiveWestminster is already a recognised, trusted brand across the borough.

It’s simpler, more memorable, and better reflects how residents, partners, and stakeholders know and connect with us. We’re proud to align even more closely with the ActiveWestminster Strategy and the council-wide Fairer Westminster Strategy as we continue working for a healthier, more active borough.

This update will help us:

  • Strengthen our identity
  • Streamline communications
  • Improve visibility and recognitio

About the ActiveWestminster Partnership

The ActiveWestminster Partnership is a borough-wide network of organisations, schools, sports clubs, charities, voluntary sector, health services and local people, all working together to make Westminster more active and inclusive.

Facilitated by Westminster City Council, the partnership focuses on:

  • Reducing health inequalities
  • Embedding physical activity in everyday life
  • Creating inclusive, accessible opportunities for all

Stay connected

Want to stay up to date and connected?

Thank you for being part of this exciting new chapter and for supporting everything we do as the ActiveWestminster Team.

Seen It At Queen Mother? Sociability Is Now At Moberly Too!

Seen It At Queen Mother? Sociability Is Now At Moberly Too!

We’re excited to announce that Sociability is now live at Moberly Sports Centre on Chamberlayne Road – making it easier than ever to plan your visit with confidence.

Here’s a quick reminder about how Sociability helps

Sociability is a disabled-led technology company and mobile app designed to empower disabled people by helping them discover accessible venues across the UK. The app provides clear, detailed and accurate information about venue accessibility, from step-free access and lighting levels to the presence of accessible toilets, hoists, or grab rails.

Whether you’re planning a swim, a gym session, or just want to check out local facilities, Sociability gives you the tools to plan ahead, reduce uncertainty, and enjoy more time doing what you love.

Let’s come together to create a more active, inclusive and supportive Westminster for all.

Why it matters

For many disabled people, lack of reliable accessibility info can be a real barrier to getting active. Sociability helps break down that barrier by making it easier to know what to expect before arriving. It enables greater independence, confidence, and freedom when accessing leisure services – aligning perfectly with ActiveWestminster’s commitment to inclusive and active communities.

Try it for yourself! Head over to the Sociability website at www.sociability.app, learn more and download their free mobile app today!
