Creating an Active Birmingham Strategy Consultation

Overview

A draft Creating an Active Birmingham Strategy has been developed and sets out how together we can address low levels of physical activity in Birmingham and is intended to direct our actions in Birmingham over the next ten years (2024 – 2034).  

Our vision is to create a bold, healthy, and active city where people have access to a wide range of opportunities and a supportive environment to enable them to become more active.  Birmingham will be a city where physical activity improves people’s lives and the places in which they live.  By working collaboratively with partners from across Birmingham we will inspire, motivate, and make it easier for everyone to be active at every age and ability. Recognising that some people will require more support than others to be active.

Creating an Active Birmingham cannot be achieved by the Council alone and will involve input from a range of organisations and individuals across a variety of settings. We want to strengthen engagement and co-production through consulting on the draft document. We would like to know whether you think our approach is right and to receive feedback which can further shape our thinking and start the process of creating a Plan for Action for the Strategy.
