Welcome to Community Wellbeing

Youth football

Welcome to Community Wellbeing which is part of Adur and Wothing Councils' Planning, Regeneration and Wellbeing Service. Our role is to address the priorities of the Health and Wellbeing Partnership which are:

Reduce obesity
Increase physical activity
Reduce alcohol abuse
Improve mental wellbeing

A core value for us is that we believe that everybody can improve the quality of their lives by regular participation in leisure activity.

Each person is different so the benefits we can get from taking part will vary from individual to individual but here are

Five Reasons why you should get involved
Reason	Why
Fun	Regular participation in activities that you enjoy is fun
Fitness	Remember that mental well being is as important as physical fitness to our overall health.
Fulfilment	Whether you are performing or learning a new skill the sense of achievement is immense.
Friendship	Leisure activities bring like minded people together to enjoy shared experiences and each other’s company.
Freedom	You can escape the pressures of everyday life for an hour or two by taking part in a leisure activity.

In development we want to make a difference in the long term. Whilst we are happy to organise events, we expect these to be linked to outcomes that will bring about lasting improvements.

We can not do our work alone and we rely heavily on developing partnerships with local voluntary groups and other public and commercial organisations as well as collaborating with our colleagues at the Borough Council’s leisure venues and in the Community Safety team.

Take a look at our Sports & Physical Activity pages to get the latest information about how we can help you be more active
If you are looking for a local leisure activity or sports club we have a wide variety listed on our Leisure and Sports Activities Directory
If you are under nineteen there are some great ideas for how to spend your leisure time on our Youth Leisure pages.

Finally, if you need any advice or have any comments about our service or suggestions for possible projects we would be pleased to hear from you.
