Newham Leisure Services Feedback

Throughout December 2021 to March 2022 we held a number of resident engagement sessions (online and face to face) with both adults, mental health service users, young people, young people with disabilities and their families. As our previous leisure services management contract was coming to an end, it was the perfect opportunity for the Council to consider how we delivered the best possible leisure services that supported as many residents as possible to lead active, healthy lives and support wider health and wellbeing outcomes.

We wanted residents to help us shape services that were fit for purpose and support wider cross council working to improve opportunities for residents to be active.

The insight gathered from the consultation has helped us build a clearer picture of the needs of residents, helping us to understand the motivations, attitudes and barriers to being active and will help shape the future of leisure services and physical activity in the borough.
