2022 Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland Residents' Survey results published

We have recently released a report covering the results of our most recent Physical Activity and Wellbeing Residents' Survey. The survey ran during June- July 2022 and received 2,788 respondents from across Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

Key findings include:

• Cost of living continues to impact physical activity and many local residents state that they feel this impacts there opportunity to be active.
• There is a clear intention from residents to make a number of healthy lifestyle changes within the next 6 months, including increasing activity levels.
• Inactive residents identified that they would prefer to participate in activity indoors at community venues (e.g gyms and village halls).

John Byrne, Director of Active Together said:

"Our physical activity residents' survey plays an important role in building our collective understanding of our places and communities. The results from the survey will help us better understand our residents current physical activity levels, the challenges they face to be active and their future intentions. This evaluation report will help the Active Together Partnership identify the support and opportunities needed in our local communities and help us more effectively target our resources where they are most needed."
