The Sports Strategy is founded on the desire to ensure that everyone can participate in some way and at some level in sport, both for their personal benefit and the benefit of the wider Peterborough community.

 

A key belief underpinning this strategy is that culture and, more particularly, the cultural opportunity provided through Sport improves the quality of life for everyone and that everyone has a right to participate in and benefit from Sport. 

 

The aim of this strategy is to set out a future direction and vision for Sport in Peterborough.  The strategy identifies the major priorities, challenges and actions necessary to achieve this future vision.

 

The Strategy aims to pull existing and new commitments into a coherent framework in order to co-ordinate their implementation and help those organisations involved in sport and physical recreation to move in a common direction.

 

Across the East of England our partners are working hard to deliver a regional plan to stimulate a 1% increase in participation levels year on year and help widen access to sport and active recreation.  The implementation of this sports strategy is Peterborough's contribution towards this objective.

 

By working together, and through the innovative approaches to the planning, resources, promotion and delivery of sport, we can all contribute towards building 'healthy communities' in which people can thrive and prosper in 'a bigger and better Peterborough'.

 

In this spirit we would like to invite you to read the Draft Sports Strategy and share your comments.

 

  

 

 

1. Are the key priorities right? Have we missed any or are there any that don't make sense?
