Description
Sport England has launched a new fund to help inactive older people (aged 55+) to get active. Three Rivers District Council is looking to build on the work they have already been doing to tackle inactivity through their Get Active programme by applying to this funding programme.
Three Rivers District Council will be hosting a stakeholder event for key partners to come together and discuss ideas and opportunities for partnership working under the fund. This will be taking place at Three Rivers House, Wednesday 18th January from 9:30 to 11:30 am. The morning will include a brief overview of the fund, its aims and objectives. There will then be a discussion around a few key themes where they will ask questions such as…
What do you currently do to support adults 55+ into physical activity?
What is missing from your service?
What support do you need/can you offer?
We all know that there are a wide range of reasons why people are less active as they get older that aren't necessarily directly connected to age and physical ability. It can be work, greater family and caring commitments and even social attitudes and preconceived ideas about the ‘right time’ to start getting active.
Sport England research shows that 42 per cent of people aged 55 and over are inactive compared to 29 per cent of the population as a whole. We want to work with our local partners to learn and understand more about how we can support inactive older adults. In particular, ways of tackling inactivity that can make a significant difference to people’s lives.
