The Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards - Supporting Partners Announcement

Respected organisations from across the sport, fitness, and healthcare industry sign up in support of The Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023.

The Active Pregnancy Foundation are today, on International Women’s Day, proudly announcing the Supporting Partners of the Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023 – in association with Natal Active. These organisations share a commitment to support women to be active throughout their childbearing years with the required resources and opportunities to meet their needs in relation to health, performance, and quality of life.

Despite the many physical and mental health benefits of regular engagement with physical activities, our annual survey 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 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.

The Active Pregnancy Foundation Awards 2023 Supporting Partners are:

• Active Partnerships

• The British Association of Sport and Exercise Sciences (BASES)

• The Chartered Institute for the Management of Sport & Physical Activity (CIMSPA)

• College of Medicine

• The Institute of Health Visiting (iHV)

• People in Law

• The Pelvic, Obstetric & Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP)

• ukactive

• UK Sport

• The Well HQ

Sally Kettle, CEO The Active Pregnancy Foundation says, “We’re excited to be announcing our Supporting Partners, as they represent the organisations whose work has a direct impact on the health and wellbeing of pregnant and postnatal women in the UK – be it through provision, support or a working environment that understands their needs. Every Supporting Partner adds credibility to the purpose of the Awards and the work we do at the Foundation.”
