local area statistics on participation in sport and culture

In June 2008, local authorities agreed Local Area Agreements (LAAs) with Government and their partners.

Local area statistics on participation in sport and culture (formerly National Indicators) have been collected using Sport England’s Active People Survey:

  • Participation in sport and active recreation
  • Use of public libraries
  • Visits to museums and galleries
  • Engagement in the arts

Latest Release: The latest set of local area statistics were published on 8 December 2011.

  • This report presents local area statistics on participation in sport and active recreation using results from Sport England’s Active People Survey (APS) 5. Data published for County Councils and those authorities that have boosted samples will be based on Active People Survey data from October 2010 to October 2011.

  • For the other authorities, the statistics are based on the 24 month period October 2009 to October 2011 giving a sample size of 1000. The report is accompanied by a workbook containing local area estimates.
