We’re excited to announce the launch of the ActiveWestminster Strategy 2024-2028! This forward-thinking plan is designed to transform how physical activity, leisure, and sport are integrated into daily life across Westminster. Building on the successes of previous strategies, this updated vision focuses on inclusivity, accessibility, and community wellbeing.

Using the ‘Move for Life!’ framework, the strategy outlines three core themes of delivery:

1. Active Lives: Encourage more residents to engage in regular physical activity by offering tailored programmes that focus on targeting different needs and abilities.
2. Active Neighbourhoods: Create vibrant local environments with parks and open spaces, safe streets, and community-led initiatives that inspire movement and connection.
3. Active City: capitalising on Westminster’s top-class facilities and meaningful partnerships to make physical activity a central part of its identity.

Why This Matters:

Westminster faces unique challenges, such as high rates of inactivity and childhood obesity. The strategy emphasises reducing health disparities, promoting sustainability through active travel, and fostering strong community networks. It also supports programs like Active Streets, which repurpose residential areas for play and active lifestyles, and Active Lives for All, ensuring no one is left behind.

With this strategy, Westminster aims to create a healthier, happier city where everyone has the opportunity to thrive through movement and physical activity.
