ActiveWestminster Strategy for 2024–2028 sets out our ambitious plan to improve the health and wellbeing of residents and visitors across the city, by making physical activity more accessible for everyone, using a whole council approach.
Our vision is for Westminster to be…
a city where everyone is active and has a healthier and happier life.
Because a Westminster where everyone is active, is a Fairer Westminster…
Physical activity can be an important driver in increasing fairness and yet we know that opportunities to be active in Westminster are not accessed equally by everyone at the moment.
Delivering on our vision of a city where everyone is active will therefore contribute to delivering on the council’s overarching Fairer Westminster Strategy in a variety of ways, including:
- Providing excellent physical activity opportunities which ensure all adults can stay healthy and thrive as they age.
- Ensuring children growing up in Westminster having access to active communities.
- Supporting community and voluntary groups prosper in the sport and physical activity sector.
- Ensuring people can find out about opportunities to be active in their local area.
Move for Life!’ Framework
Driven by the vision that everyone should have access to physical activity, the strategy supports health, accessibility, equality, community cohesion, skill development, and environmental sustainability through a variety of initiatives.
Guided by the Move for Life! framework, the strategy focuses on three core delivery themes:
Active Lives
Active Neighbourhoods
Active City
Discover what each core theme means in action by watching our case study videos – learning more about the framework and how it’s making a difference.
Active Lives
Everyone in Westminster should be able to be active within their everyday lives, in a way that works for them. This may be to and from work, study, volunteering and training in parks and open spaces, in their local leisure centre, on their own or with friends and family.
Active Neighbourhoods
We'll ensure neighbourhoods have opportunities for residents, students and workers to be active and connect in locally. We recognise that all neighbourhoods are distinct, and at a local level we'll determine what needs to be in place to support an active neighbourhood.
Active City
The infrastructure across the city should support people to be active; whether this is in our leisure centres, activity facilities, school facilities, parks, open and green spaces, playgrounds, our streets, community areas, or cycle and walking routes on our streets and highways.
