Inspired - a sporting challenge

It has long been recognised that sporting participation amongst certain communities is below the average for the UK.   With the Government emphasis on encouraging adults to participate in at least three half hour sessions of moderate physical activity a week Culturelinks have been working in partnership with the local communities in Luton and Bedford to make a difference.  

Focusing on the Asian communities which have particularly low levels of participation Syzygy Leisure are working with Culturelinks to prepare an application to Sport England for funding to support this project.

It will focus on the development of role models, coaches and volunteers from within the community to access the "hardest to get to" groups.
