Active Mid Devon has been recognised for its commitment to providing safe, high-quality and inclusive facilities for the community, earning the Active Standard certification.

The Active Standard (TAS) is a quality mark for the physical activity sector, developed by ukactive and its partners, which helps people feel confident they can enjoy the benefits of being active in safe and inclusive spaces.

To secure the certification, Active Mid Devon was assessed on its health and safety practices, professional standards, safeguarding procedures, and data protection processes. This achievement highlights Active Mid Devon’s ongoing dedication to ensuring everyone can stay active in a welcoming environment.

Andy Mackie, Leisure Services Manager at Active Mid Devon, said:

“We’re incredibly proud to have achieved The Active Standard. This certification reflects the hard work of our teams and our commitment to providing safe, inclusive and high-quality spaces for everyone in our community."

Active Mid Devon’s entire fitness team is CIMSPA-accredited, ensuring members receive expert, professional guidance they can trust, and is also trained in Safer Spaces to Move – a national programme that equips staff to recognise and respond to harassment and intimidation.

Active Mid Devon offers a wide range of services including gyms, swimming pools, exercise classes, and community programmes, creating opportunities for people of all ages and abilities to lead healthier and more active lives.
