Unlocking opportunities for all
ActiveWestminster aims to break down barriers to enable and activate communities and reduce health inequalities . We want to help and empower individuals, groups and communities to lead active, healthy and happy lives.
We aim to activate the City of Westminster, the Lives of its residents and their Neighbourhoods through Physical Activity, Leisure and Sport. But that’s not where it stops. We want to empower people to learn new skills, connect with others, feel part of the community and have fun. Most importantly we want to make sure these opportunities are accessible to all.
We have an extremely vibrant ActiveWestminster partnership where we work closely with a large number of public, private and voluntary sector organisations to promote a wide variety of attractive and accessible opportunities, which encourage people to take part in physical activity, leisure and sport at any and every level, regardless of background, age or ability.
