A wide variety of work is planned, from under-five play programmes working with childcare providers, to walking programmes for adults such as walking football and walking netball.
There are outreach activities to local village and community centres such as fitness classes, boccia and dance, while the delivery of multi-sports club pilots to schools is a key objective.
The active seniors programme is also set to be relaunched, while exercise referral will be delivered working in partnership with One You Lincolnshire.
Jake said: “The pandemic has highlighted the importance of physical activity to mental and social wellbeing and we will continue to encourage and address that as restrictions ease.

“I want to focus on how we can all work together to overcome traditional barriers to activity and am very keen to visit existing groups to hear their thoughts.
“I want to get a real flavour of the kind of programmes they will enjoy, in order to promote healthy and happy communities.”
