As part of this work, London Sport is building long-term partnerships with local organisations across sectors, including councils, the NHS, neighbourhood groups, schools and charities. Together, we are working hard to create the conditions that make being active easier, more welcoming and part of everyday life.
To do this most effectively, we will continue to be community-led, listening to Londoner’s affected the most, and giving them a voice.
Through this approach, we are building trust and establishing a framework to support and empower local leaders. It is through this collaborative working that we aim to achieve systematic change, where local partnerships can lead and develop provision for their communities in an exciting and sustainable way.
What about the rest of London?
For the remaining 26 London Boroughs not listed, we are utilising Sport England’s £25 million Place Universal Offer to help tackle inactivity.
Across the remaining London boroughs, we are undertaking a series of targeted interventions, based on community voice, and involving piloting, gathering learnings and an intention to scale sustainably where possible. To add strength to this work, we are focusing on two of our strategic themes and the specific challenges we are trying to tackle.
Active environments –Harnessing spaces and places that enable Londoners to be more physically active.
Health – Integrating physical activity into London’s healthcare system to prevent and support the management of health conditions.
