Active Lives

Sport England led survey measuring children's activity levels in Bedfordshire and nationally

Increased Activity Levels for Bedfordshire children

Children and young people's activity levels have been maintained and remained stable across the 2023-24 academic year.

The latest Active Lives Children and Young People Survey Report, shows that 47.8% of children are meeting the guidelines of taking part in an average of 60 minutes or more of sport and physical activity every day.

In Bedfordshire we have made positive progress with the amount of children and young people getting active increasing by 2.5%. We value the support and dedication from all our partners and organisations in making this increase possible.

Watch this video to see activity levels for each local authority in Bedfordshire.
