Renewing collaboration with The MoveFactory
As of July 1, 2024, the municipality is extending its cooperation with The MoveFactory (TMF). As a result, TMF will remain the sports and exercise partner in Kerkrade for the next few years. Since the fall of 2021, The MoveFactory has already been implementing the sports and exercise policy. Encouraging an active and healthy lifestyle for all Kerkrade residents will continue to be the focus in the coming years.
The MoveFactory works to create a sports climate in Parkstad with the goal of getting and keeping as many people as possible moving. Here the focus is on three topics: healthy youth, vital neighborhood and vital aging.
Sport and exercise are of great social value to Kerkrade's residents. TMF deploys sport and exercise as a goal and means and actively seeks cooperation with partners such as child care, education and associations.
Jorg Smeets, team leader of The MoveFactory, is pleased with the extension: "The challenge is great in this region. We find it important to use sports, exercise and vitality to achieve various goals in society. Together with the municipality of Kerkrade, we have laid a good foundation in recent years, built a strong network and got many Kerkrade residents, young and old, moving. In the coming years, we will continue to build on a sporty and vital Kerkrade with confidence."
