Causeway Coast & Glens Borough Council
Active Living Strategy - Community Survey

The Active Living Strategy is for everyone. It aims to achieve better wellbeing outcomes across the Borough. It will do this by developing new and improved opportunities for getting more people involved in physical activity, whether in the structured setting of leisure centres and sports groups or in the natural setting of outdoor recreation. Whilst the Council is taking the lead, the Active Living Strategy will be delivered by a collective of key groups and organisations.

This survey helps us to research and shape the strategy. Thank-you for helping in this important research.
