Boston and East Lindsey will benefit from Sport England’s £250M national investment to strengthen communities and get more people more active.
Active Lincolnshire is working with Sport England so that more people in Boston and East Lindsey can lead active lives for longer.
Through place-based working, together they will create lasting change in our communities and make sport and physical activity accessible for everyone, every day.
Sport England research calculates that active lifestyles save £10.5 billion a year for the health and social care system, including a £140 million saving in Lincolnshire.
This relieves some of the NHS burden, preventing 1.3 million cases of depression nationwide, 600,000 of diabetes and 57,000 of dementia (the UK’s leading cause of death) annually.
In Boston and East Lindsey, Active Lincolnshire will work with residents and local partners to listen, learn and understand the challenges and opportunities. Everyone will then work together to develop a plan for the multiyear investment.
