Active Communities

The Sports Development team have now become the Active Communities team. This reorganisation provides an effective link with the Active Education team to provide a seamless service for all age groups within the community.

Broadly speaking the new team is responsible for increasing participation amongst the 16 + community, whilst the Active Education team concentrate on under 16's.

The Active Communities team are responsible for increasing participation, and they do this primarily through outreach work with a number of priority groups such as women, disabled and older people, together with the initiatives that use sport and physical activity to improve health, promote community well-being and provide lifelong learning. The team also includes the Healthy Lifestyles and the Training and Workforce development teams.
