Our aim
The purpose of ‘Active Together’ is to improve health by increasing the physical activity levels of 6,160 people living in Leicestershire to 3 x 30 mins of physical activity per week
.
Why do we need to increase levels of physical activity?
The national Active People survey interviewed 350,000 people nationally in 2006
In Leicestershire only 22% took part in 3 x 30 mins of physical activity per week (the levels of participation nationally vary from 17% to 24%)
What is the Project about?
The Local Area Agreement (LAA), Sport England and local partners have invested almost £700k from October 2006 until March 2009 in this project.
11 physical activity co-ordinators have been appointed throughout Leicestershire and are working in partnership with their Local Sport Alliances (LSAs)
This consists of 7 District posts and 4 ‘shared’ District specialist posts (working with target groups)
Each post has a target of getting 560 adults doing 3 x 30 mins of physical activity per week
