Issue - meetings

The Board received a report, for information, that provided an update on the HariActive Programme.

The Programme contributed towards four of the Local Area Agreement (LAA) National Indicators (NI’s) within its responsibility:

• NI 8                 Adult Sport and Physical Activity Participation
• NI 6                 Participation in Volunteering
• NI 56               Tackling Childhood Obesity
• NI 57   Children and Young People’s Participation in High Quality Physical Education and Sport
• NI 119             Overall Health and Well-Being (Local Target)
• NI 139             Healthy Lifestyle Expectancy (Local Target)

It was noted that proxies were now being formulated to enable the Board to measure progress against targets that had an annual indicator.

In response to a query as to how the level of people who participate in physical activity three times a week or more was measured the Board was advised that this information was taken from the Active People Survey. This was based on responses received from one thousand people from across the Borough and had been accepted by GOL as a sufficient means of measuring this.

The Board was advised that coaching opportunities arising as part of the Olympics would be picked up in the Club and Coaching Volunteering Programme. The Enterprise Partnership Board was considering the wider economic legacy that the Olympics presented for the Borough.

RESOLVED:

That the report be noted.
