Sport and Physical Activity Strategy

Taking part regularly in activity such as walking, cycling, going to the playground, jogging, swimming, football or looking after an allotment, can contribute greatly to providing fun and enjoyment in our lives, as well as making us healthier.

Being a member of a local sports club, particularly when this involves acting as a volunteer to provide coaching or assist in the administration of the club, also helps to strengthen our local communities and encourage active citizenship.

Haringey Council and external partners have invested over £10m in the last 12 months to improve the quality of facilities available in our leisure centres, parks and open spaces, play facilities and on our allotments making them more attractive to local people and to encourage you to make the greatest possible use of them.

We have also invested heavily to provide new facilities in our local schools and through our new Children’s Centres to give young people in the Borough the best possible chance to learn and enjoy sport and physical activity and hopefully, to continue to participate in adult life.

In taking forward the Sport and Physical Activity, we recognise that partnership will be crucial in persuading more local people to enjoy an active lifestyle. We will therefore seek to work with a range of partners from Health, Education, local employers and the voluntary sector, to increase opportunities for you to participate in sport and physical activity. So why not read the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy and see how you can get involved!

To support the Sport and Physical Activity Strategy, the Football Development Plan has been produced. This seeks to address issues of inconsistency with regard to provision and provide the basis for a closer working partnership amongst football deliverers and facilitators throughout Haringey, and can be found at the bottom of the page.
