ActiveWestminster Strategy 2024–2028 

The ActiveWestminster Strategy sets out our plan to help everyone in Westminster live more active, healthy and happy lives. Physical activity can improve your health, wellbeing and quality of life - we want to make it easier for everyone to get moving. 

This strategy runs for the next 4 years in our aim to help residents become more physically active, and supports our Fairer Westminster goals of improving health, reducing inequalities and strengthening communities. 

Our goals

We want to: 

• Help more people be active every day 
• Make it easier to get involved in sports and activities 
• Ensure all communities can access safe, welcoming places to be active 
• Work with partners to support healthy, active lifestyles across Westminster 

Our focus areas

We’re working towards a more active city through three main areas: 

• Active Lives, supporting individuals to be active at home, school, work, and in daily life. 
• Active Neighbourhoods, creating local spaces that make it accessible, easy and enjoyable to be active. 
• Active City, providing good facilities, safe routes and activities for everyone. 

Read the strategy

Why this matters

• Over 1 in 5 adults in Westminster are inactive. 
• Over 1 in 3 children leave primary school overweight or obese. 
• We want to change that by making it easier to be active, wherever you live or work.

What’s next?

We’ll work with local partners, services, schools, health providers and communities to: 

• Map out what’s already available 
• Identify gaps and opportunities 
• Set clear actions and measure our progress
