Sport England’s new 10-year strategy ‘Uniting the movement” was published in 2021 and communicates a vision that everyone, regardless of age, background, or level of ability, can engage in sport, fitness, and physical activity to improve individually and collectively.
“When we Move, We are Stronger, Sport and physical activity can do so much more, play a role in society. Movement is essential for our health, communities, and the next generation.” Creating active environments requires a coordinated and holistic approach to the design and application of those surroundings.
Space a challenge? Many smaller spaces or existing classrooms can be adapted to become an Activity Studio and configured to inspire and encourage regular physical activity.
