Victims of domestic abuse are among those who will benefit from a £3.3 million investment in tackling inactivity.

Our TIED Fund – Tackling Inactivity and Economic Disadvantage – uses National Lottery money to help those from lower socio-economic groups to get active.

Our latest Active Lives Adult Survey revealed that a third of people in lower paid and routine jobs are inactive – meaning they do fewer than 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity a week.

Results also showed that inactivity in this sector of the public is twice that of those on a high income in senior and managerial roles.

EVA Women's Aid Ltd, in Redcar, will receive £36,200 to help women who have been the victims of domestic abuse, or who have additional mental health needs, by aiming to improve their self-esteem, social skills and communication.
