ProActive Islington

Physical activity is increasingly recognised as being a key factor in improving and maintaining good health. In response to this Islington has developed a strategic partnership called ProActive Islington. 

The partnership was developed in 2005 and it represents a wide range of Islington organistions:

• Islington Council
• Aquaterra Leisure
• Islington Primary Care Trust
• PRO_ACTIVE Central London
• Access to Sports
• CE @ Islington
• City University
• Arsenal in the Community
• Elfrida Society
• Islington Football Development Partnership
• Voluntary Action Islington

The vision of the partnership is:

A borough wide sport and leisure partnership that will, through the promotion of healthy and active living, contribute to social inclusion, positive engagement, regeneration and civic pride.

The aim of the partnership is:

To raise the profile of sport and physical activity opportunities in the borough, by providing a strategic focus for the coordination, planning and development of programmes aimed at increasing the levels of physical activity and sport participation.

Please see the Strategy and Action Plan at the bottom of this page for further information on the current work of ProActive Islington.
