The Get Doncaster Moving (GDM) team receive a high volume of requests for information and support from the GDM Network of partners and wider stakeholders, and from a wide range of organisations and sectors. Sharing our learning – and learning from others – is a fundamental value of Get Doncaster Moving and we welcome and encourage requests to share our learning and our approach.
We house many of our learning resources on our website. You can take a look at our resource library below for data, insights and learning related to physical activity. Use the categories or tabs options to narrow your search.
If you can't find what you are looking for, or wish to contact the team about these resources, please complete this short request form: Request for support
Please note we are currently testing the resource library, ahead of it's official launch in December 2024, please bear with us while we work to keep making improvements to the library during this time.

Mapping of the Physical Activity System
Cavill Associates were commissioned to support Doncaster to take a 'systems approach' to promoting physical activity across the Borough. Stakeholders (including residents and partners across Team Doncaster) have worked together to identify the factors that affect population activity levels in Doncaster.
Through a Systems Mapping approach (developed from the WHO Global Action Plan for Physical Activity), we can see that many of the things that stop people from being active are not in their power to change. The places, policies and spaces that make up the system we live in, have a large role in shaping our behaviour and the choices we make. This is a continuing approach, and we are starting to use our map to communicate the multiple factors and cross-sectoral nature of the influences on physical activity, and that this needs to be achieved across a variety of policy areas – not solely the responsibility of leisure or health.
