Get Out Get Active (GOGA)
Community First supports the Get Out Get Active project in Wiltshire led by Wiltshire and Swindon Sport (WASP). GOGA aims to bring sport and physical activity to inactive people via local community halls and buildings.
Get Out Get Active in Wiltshire
Community First is partnering with WASP, Wiltshire Council, Wiltshire Age UK and Wiltshire Centre for Independent Living in the ground-breaking and exciting GOGA (Get Out Get Active) programme.
It began nationally in 2016 and was created to bring disabled and non-disabled people together to be active. It aims to engage the least active communities in fun, inclusive ways. Now it is set to continue until at least 2023 focussing on the communities in the Southern region of Wiltshire.
GOGA is about more than being active. It strengthens community spirit, increases confidence and improves mental health. It increases the demand for, and the accessibility of, activities.
Success is achieved through tapping into people’s real life motivations to be physically active.
We have engaged with residents in the Broadchalke, Codford, Wilton, Amesbury and Ludgershall communities. We have also delivered face to face training at Wilton Community centre and Amesbury Baptist Church.
Free Training Workshops
Community First is hosting FREE training workshops for GOGA volunteers in 2025. The workshop is ideal for anyone engaging with their community and aims to recruit additional volunteers and participants for GOGA activities. For more information contact: hpinney@communityfirst.org.uk.
