  • Encouraging Strong and Healthy Communities with GO Active Gold
    Encouraging strong and healthy communities with GO Active Gold Both South Oxfordshire and Vale of White Horse District Councils prioritise support for communities in their corporate plans, helping people to be healthy and active and making sure local residents can explore sport and activity opportunities available to them. With a higher than average ageing population in both districts, it’s clear that there needs to be a strong focus on the elderly in our communities, encouraging them to stay healthy and active for longer. With Sport England funding, the Leisure Team is now delivering the GO Active Gold programme. GO Active Gold Activators work in partnership with local communities to set up a range of sports and physical activities in village venues e.g. halls, pavilions, multi-use games areas. We will deliver GO Active Gold in 70 targeted parishes across both districts. The parishes chosen have a population size of approximately 500 – 3,000 residents and have at least 100 residents aged 60 and over. Why it is important to support and encourage older people in your community to stay active? Because we want older people to experience a better quality of life with improved health and an increased chance of remaining independent for longer, in a supportive and caring community environment: Many adults aged 65 and over spend, on average, 10 hours or more each day sitting or lying down, making them the most sedentary age group. Inactivity causes higher rates of falls, obesity, heart disease and early death compared with the general population. Older people are especially vulnerable to loneliness and social isolation – and it can have a serious effect on their mental and physical health.
