Climbing Higher - creating an active Wales, 05/05/09 [W]

The Welsh Assembly Government is seeking views on ‘Creating an Active Wales’, a plan which focuses on ensuring that physical activity is built into our daily routines.

Creating an Active Wales’ recognises the importance of having a built environment that supports people to be active and having access to green spaces.

The plan also acknowledges the need to provide support for people to become more physically active through targeted programmes that support behavioural change. A particular emphasis will be placed
on:

Increasing physical activity in the sedentary population
Supporting children’s lifelong participation
Targeting drop off in physical activity levels e.g. teenage girls.

The action plan has four strategic themes:

Active environments
Active children and young people
Active adults
Sport for all
