Over the past few months, the council has worked with a wide range of stakeholders to develop a collective vision and shared outcomes for physical activity and sport and this forms phase 1 of the strategy.
Supported by colleagues from the national Leadership Centre, we began working with stakeholders in October 2022 which saw initial agreement to the emerging themes and cross-cutting issues relating to physical activity.
A series of engagement workshops in January were attended by 62 stakeholders at which they took part in participatory discussions on the current context, challenges and opportunities, plus consideration of shared values and an emerging vision.
At a further stakeholder workshop in April, the draft vision and outcomes were further refined in ahead of them coming to Cabinet for approval. This work will help inform the second phase of the strategy.
