7th - 13th July 2008

The 'Get Active' week is a week long campaign to encourage as many people as possible to take part in some form of sport or physical activity. It will include opening facilities up for people to experience the activity in a relaxed and non committal way; clubs and organisations will be offering the opportunity to take part in taster sessions, along with come-and-try sessions and demonstrations. School events are also planned during this week long campaign, along with special events across the borough.

You will find a pledge form on this site where you can make a 'pledge' to take part in a chosen activity or to do a certain activity i.e. take the stairs as oppose to the lift. Also available is a passport which can be downloaded and taken along to a particular event/facility whereby it will be stamped as proof of taking part.

All this will help us achieve a 20% increase year on year in people taking part in some form of activity by the 2012 Olympic Games to be held in the UK.

So there's no excuse – click on events and 'GET ACTIVE'
