Thematic Learnings

The activity levels of any given person are beyond the influence of leisure centre opening hours, council strategies or even that person’s own motivation. This challenge has promoted Active Black Country to adopt an asset-based approach across 8 priority wards. The priority ward areas are selected using a combination of National Data and align with the economic regeneration corridors.
