Physical activity strategy The Creating an Active Birmingham Strategy has been developed and sets out how together we can address low levels of physical activity in Birmingham. It is intended to direct our actions in Birmingham over the next ten years (2024 to 2034). Our vision is to create a bold, healthy, and active city where people have access to a wide range of opportunities and a supportive environment to enable them to become more active. Priorities The strategy has 5 key priorities: Active People: Creating and promoting access to opportunities taking a life course approach across multiple settings to enable people to engage in regular physical activity. Active Environments: creating and protecting the places and spaces that promote and engage people of all ages and abilities in activity Active Society: changing the narrative around physical activity across the city building insight and evidence into policy, commissioning, planning decisions and communication messages and marketing campaigns. Active System: creating a more integrated and interconnected system by strengthening our local leadership, governance, partnerships and workforce capabilities. Closing the gap: continuing to develop a better understanding of local barriers and enablers to increase activity across the city and ensure we focus on the least active groups as identified in the Physical Activity Needs Assessment.
