Leisure Development -enriching life through sport and leisure

Home Header

Welcome to Leisure Development

Leisure Development is part of the Planning, Regeneration & Wellbeing service block of Adur and Worthing Councils. A full service review will take place during 2009 which will redefine the scope of our role. Meanwhile, we will continue to encourage participation in sport and physcial activity by adults, especially those from sections of the community for whom it has been traditionally dfficult to take part, and inspire young people to use their leisure time in a positive way.

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.
In the General Information section you can download some of the forms we use to save you telephoning or calling in to the Town Hall.

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.
