How were the areas chosen?

  • Sport England’s Uniting the Movement Strategy details how they are targeting the greatest resource to areas with highest inactivity levels and other social need indicators, as this is where the biggest impact on key outcomes is possible.
  • Sport England recognise that no two places are the same, so they use a range of data sources to inform their investment decisions, including physical activity data from our Active Lives Surveys, as well as wider social data including the index of multiple deprivation (IMD), community need and health inequalities data.
  • Places were chosen which had the highest need (PNC of 1) at the point of application Place Need Classification tool | Sport England

Resident Voice Findings

The Open University worked alongside communities across the 11 focus estates to understand people’s everyday experiences, what helps or prevents them from being active, and what would genuinely make a difference in their lives.

This insight is based on around 400 conversations with residents and reflects lived experience rather than assumptions.The findings show that many residents want to be more active, but face a range of practical, personal and social barriers that must be understood and addressed together.
