GLASGOW PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY FORUM
Glasgow's
Physical Activity Forum is a Healthy City Partnership working group, which was
established in 1996 to encourage and promote physical activity in Glasgow. The
Forum’s work is underpinned by a commitment to securing improvements in health
and reducing inequalities for everyone living and working within the city. To
help meet this challenge, Forum members include representatives who possess
a specific responsibility for designing and implementing physical activity policies
to ensure Glasgow becomes an Active and Vibrant City.

AIMS & APPROACH
Since
our launch in 1996, partner agencies have worked together to deliver physical
activity opportunities for key target groups. Our aim is to work in partnership
to develop a coordinated interagency strategy to maximise opportunities and
develop support mechanisms which will increase physical activity levels amongst
targeted groups in the city.
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FORUM ACTION PLAN
Major
areas of work over the next year include the drafting and formation of the Forum
joint Action Plan. This Action Plan is being developed through a full consultation
process, which kicked off with the recent Physical Activity Open Space event
held in Glasgow. The Action Plan will inform the development and promotion of
Physical Activity across Glasgow. It will be aimed at informing and influencing
service providers & partner agency’s service plans to ensure the delivery
