Active Leeds 'A Healthy City' - A Physical Activity Strategy for Leeds 2008 - 2012

Our vision for the future is, by ‘2012 the people of Leeds will enjoy the health benefits of having a physically active life’. Individuals and families should be able to take part in regular activities and stay healthy throughout their lives.

In order to aspire towards our vision, Active Leeds will work towards achieving an average increase of 1% year on year in adult participation.

An increase in participation will enable individuals and families to take responsibility for their everyday living, travel, recreation and sporting opportunities. To make this step change possible, a greater level of investment is required in the development of this strategy.
