The Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards – Category Sponsor Announcement

Move Consulting sign up as sponsor of the Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023 ‘Programmes’ Category.

The Active Pregnancy Foundation are today proudly announcing ‘Move Consulting’ as the ‘Programmes’ Category Sponsor at the Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023 – in association with Natal Active. Move Consulting are a physical activity related behaviour change organisation. They support their clients to better understand how to apply the theory of behaviour change into their work, and in turn better support people to develop and maintain an active lifestyle. The team at Move share in our passion to implement a ‘whole systems’ approach to supporting women to become or stay active in their childbearing years.

Despite the many physical and mental health benefits of regular engagement with physical activities, research has shown that participation declines during the childbearing years with as many as 3 in 4 women missing out on the associated benefits every year[1]and few returning to pre-pregnancy participation levels. The Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023 will recognise and celebrate the people and enterprises that make a difference to women’s engagement with and experience of physical activities during the pre- and postnatal life stages. The event will commend those who demonstrate best practice in the field and highlight a collective intention to raise awareness and standards in safety, access, and provision.

Sally Kettle, CEO The Active Pregnancy Foundation says, “It is with great pleasure that we welcome Move Consulting as our ‘Programmes’ Category Sponsor, and they really couldn’t be a better fit for our Awards and this category. We know how committed they are to ensuring programmes developed by organisations in this field are effective and impactful. In fact, they expertly guided us in the development of our Big Push 2023, a document which outlines our strategic intent for the year ahead. We’re excited to have them on board as we implement one of our key activities for the year.”

Craig Blain, Founder and Director Move Consulting said, “We are honoured to be supporting the Active Pregnancy Foundation as the ‘Programmes’ Category Sponsor for this year’s awards. Supporting women to develop and maintain an active lifestyle throughout all stages of their life is a key part of maintaining their health and wellbeing. There are so many great projects and programmes that provide access to essential information, opportunities and support for women to keep moving. We cannot wait to learn more about the nominees for this years awards,”
