Findings from the six-year evaluation show a sharp rise in the community usage of BIG-backed sports facilities in an average week. The number of people using them as part of community groups and sports clubs has almost trebled during the period, that on top of the lessons run during school hours.

Barry Sheerman MP said: "I am delighted that we have such a high standard of innovative sporting activities in our region. It is centres such as this at Bradley Wood that really encourage young people to be active and lead a healthy life. Youth sport has never been in better shape or so well supported and it gives me great pleasure to see so many young people participating and enjoying outdoor pursuits." 

"This research has shown that accessible local facilities can inspire many of those least interested in sport to get out, get active and improve their health in first rate surroundings."
