London’s NHS physical activity team and the Pro-Active partnerships, in collaboration with key stakeholders, have been working together to increase participation in sport and physical activity across London. Public access to information is crucial to this approach and consequently the teams have created a one-stop shop of sport and physical activity opportunities in the capital.
This on-line resource gives comprehensive, accurate and up-to-date information signposting people to a range of physical activity opportunities and provides supporting data such as whether an opportunity is fully inclusive. The resource is also an invaluable tool for sport and health industry professionals to extract key statistics about London or a local area.
