Our vision

Our vision is a Medway:

  • which creates high quality, affordable and accessible sporting opportunities for all, enabling residents to live more active lives
  • where sport plays an integral role in creating a child-friendly place and puts Medway on the map.

To deliver this vision, we'll:

  • work together to grow participation year on year in sport and physical activity 
  • put young people at the heart of strategic planning and sports delivery
  • harness sport to celebrate and raise the profile of Medway, and to raise young people’s aspirations
  • operate commercially-sustainable, accessible community sports facilities.
