A vision for leisure in the borough of Fareham

The vision defines what Leisure for Health and Fun should mean for residents and visitors to the Borough of Fareham and is as follows:

"Access to good quality leisure opportunities that let residents, visitors and people who work in the Borough enjoy the local environment, pursue recreational interests, keep healthy and participate in community events".
 

Overarching Strategic Principles

The framework for delivering the vision is set out in the Leisure for Health & for Fun Strategy. Key overarching strategic principles, which relate to every element of the strategy, are therefore set out at the very start of this document. They are as follows:
 

• Where feasible, to ensure that all leisure provision in the borough is of a high standard.
• To work in partnership with voluntary, statutory and commercial agencies to provide new and improved leisure opportunities.
• To focus resources on priority improvements, particularly those identified in consultation with local residents and in areas where this is a deficiency in provision.
• To seek to reduce barriers to participation e.g. access, transportation, price, lackof awareness etc.
• To empower local community and voluntary groups and clubs to meet their own identified needs.
