NHS Dorset

Active Dorset

Active Dorset's main task is to get more people involved in physical activity and raise activity levels by 1% per annum, over the next 14 years, to reach the national 50% target by 2020. (Defined as participating in 30 minutes of moderate exercise five times a week - when we feel we are just beginning to get out of breath and still enjoying whatever it is we are doing).

Whilst they continue to deliver many of the key components of Active Sports, they are also evolving and expanding into new areas. Their key areas of work will be supporting the capacity and effectiveness of community based voluntary sport across Dorset, developing stonger communication and linkages across the various partners and stakeholders with an interest and involvement in sport, and getting more people actively involved in participating in sport and physical activity.
