This report inquiry looks at the impact of the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic on people’s individual activity levels as well as the effect it had on sports clubs and physical activity providers.

Issues discussed in the report include the loss of revenue from the temporary closure of facilities and clubs during the restrictions imposed, and what impact it will have on the long-term survival of the sport and physical activity sector.

It also proposes ideas about how to keep supporting people, especially children, whose activity levels have declined during the pandemic, to be active.
