Fa’side Area Partnership Working Area Plan 2015-2023

The East Lothian Partnership is working towards 10 strategic outcomes that together contribute to creating “an East Lothian where everyone has the opportunity to lead a fulfilling life and which contributes to a fair and sustainable future.” After looking at the evidence and working with residents and stakeholders across this local community the Fa’side Area Partnership has identified 9 priority areas for action across the three strategic objectives of the East Lothian Plan which will help deliver these outcomes locally. The priorities are supported by an Action Plan which details how the Area Partnership will work with public services, voluntary sector agencies, communities and local people to achieve each priority’s outcomes; priorities that focus on the real differences we want to make.

Resilient People across Fa’side ward

We want to improve opportunities for people across our ward to choose to live a healthy life-style. When the Fa’side Area Partnership started looking at health statistics for our ward we realised that the overall health outcomes for people living in this area were lower than many other places in East Lothian. In January 2015 members of the Partnership took part in a workshop focussing on Health Inequalities to begin to identify what could be done to improve health in the ward. We established a short term Working Group which looked at the ‘Challenges to Living a Healthy Life’ in this area. Focussing on what it means to have a ‘healthy life-style’ in the widest context, we have identified 3 short term priority areas to address: - Increasing opportunities for physical activity in day to day life - Supporting families to create healthy environments for children - Making it easier to choose healthy and locally grown food

PRIORITY 4 – Increasing opportunities for physical activity in day to day life The difference we want to make Why is this important in this area: We want to enable and encourage more people to be more physically Fa’side faces significant challenges in relation to health inequalities and some active as part of their day-to-day lives, including: areas of the ward have high rates of hospitalisation for a range of illnesses - More people involved with sports, including young women & girls, and related to a lack of physical activity. Many of these illnesses can also be significantly remediated by increased physical activity. older men; - More people accessing work, school and other key facilities via active Air quality is also an issues in Tranent and Fa’side has very high numbers of travel; people accessing work, school and other facilities by car or van, with very few - More people out enjoying parks, core paths and other green-spaces accessing these facilities by walking or cycling. on a daily basis; Increasing opportunities for physical activity through sport, leisure, play and

- More opportunities for informal play at all ages. active travel could bring significant health benefits in for the Fa’side ward. Related outcome in the East Lothian Outcome 6: In East Lothian, we live healthier, more active and independent lives Plan 6.3 People are more physically active Goals under this Priority Include:  Increase number of people choosing walking or cycling to access local facilities and using the core paths for leisure and recreation  Improve the quality of our outdoor spaces, and promote opportunities for informal outdoor play for people of all ages  Improve access to sports and sports facilities for all, but with a particular focus on young women and girls, and older men who are often less likely to participate
