Sports development

Promoting a healthier lifestyle

Medway Council’s Sports Development Team recognises the importance of sport and recreation to the residents of Medway and aims to encourage participation by all parts of the community, either through the direct provision of safe, suitable and good quality services or indirectly by supporting the efforts of other organisations and individuals. By raising the quality of sporting facilities in these ways, the team aims to promote healthier lifestyles for the people of Medway.

A vision for Medway

The vision for sports development in Medway is that it will be a place where:

  • all young people get a good start in sport and recreation;
  • people of all ages have high quality, enjoyable opportunities to stay involved in sport and recreation throughout their lives;
  • all sports participants have opportunities to improve and achieve their personal sports goals;
  • people will be encouraged to adopt a healthy lifestyle through active living, including those who are socially disadvantaged.

A positive contribution to Medway's quality of life

Medway Council is supporting and funding the development of sport because it makes a positive contribution to the economic, social and environmental well being of the local area, the quality of life and the promotion of healthy lifestyles. Sport can pay huge dividends in terms of improved health, social inclusion, community safety, realising everyone’s potential, lifelong learning, environmental sustainability and regeneration.
