Action Plan 2004 - 2014

Priority 4: healthy and active community

“Work towards creating a healthy caring community providing protection and support to the most needy, and active community for all through sport, leisure and play.”

Why?

In the index of Multiple Deprivation, the community was shown to have poor levels of health and high levels of long-tern disability. Many people do not undertake the recommended levels of activity and suffer the results of poor diet and lifestyle. In both community surveys access to health care and advice, health provision for youth and senior citizens were seen as community concerns. Growing drug and alcohol abuse amongst the young and discarded needles were seen as serious problem.

We will:

Provide support to those facing drug & alcohol abuse.
Promote access to Healthy Living programmes and facilities.
Provide support and care for the most needy in the community.
Widen access to opportunity through sports programmes by providing improved sports facilities at the Canolfon Centre and Paddling Pool.
Improve provision for Play by developing a Skateboard/Adventure playground facility and increased participation in outdoor activities.
Develop pre-school play for the community.

Targets:

Improve the Canolfan Centre changing room facilities, muilti-use play area, and improvement to playing fields.
Expand and develop the range of sports and physical activity programme for all throughout the village.
Promote and develop Health & Wellbeing programmes, opportunities, developments and information in the community.
Establish a Healthy Living Centre in the Institute to improve activity levels and tackle barriers to employability.
Tackle problems of drug & alcohol abuse and mental health.
Provide support for the most vulnerable in the community including senior citizens and the disabled.
Establish and run a Skate Park facility as part of the Canolfan complex.
Upgrade playground facilities in the community.
Improve access and support for play provision in the community for the very young, holiday periods and through use of Forest Schools and the outdoor environment.
