JU:MP Connector Programme

What is the aim of this workstream?

• To bring together communities and local organisations to deliver activities, consult with families on local action plans and feed into the wider JU:MP programme by supporting marketing activity.

This workstream aims to select local 'people like us' who work with communities to help them become independently active and take on the role as a 'connector'. These connectors support behaviour change at a local level and champion the physical activity agenda at a hyper-local level for children and young people.

The approach

The JU:MP connectors will work closely with less active children and families and help build their skills, confidence and motivation to be active as well as facilitating family engagement in local greenspace.

The connectors will also work within the community to support the development of local physical activity 'leaders' and facilitate the action plan groups for their neighbourhood acting as the voice for children and young people within their community. They will then help support the delivery of the neighbourhood action plans developed from the group meetings/workshops.

JU:MP connectors will also take the role of connecting with local organisations and building strong relationships and connections between schools, wider community groups/organisations and spaces within the neighbourhood.

The JU:MP Connector programme is running in 6 neighbourhoods and has been set up to bring together communities and local organisations; delivering activities, consulting with families on local plans and feed into the wider JU:MP programme by supporting marketing activity.
