About PRO-ACTIVE East London
Sport and physical activity have a rich tradition within East London, from the spiritual home of community football at Hackney Marshes to the world famous London Marathon, from the vast network of green and open spaces to the numerous annual dance Melas. Yet whilst many in East London’s communities have long used sport and physical activity to interact, compete, volunteer, work and stay healthy, many significant barriers to participation exist.
Against this backdrop, in spring 2006 PRO-ACTIVE East London was established with the aim of developing existing and establishing new ways of using sport and physical activity to bring about positive change in the social and economic well being of East London’s communities.
To deliver our goals we have set up a Community Sport and Physical Activity Network (CSPAN) in each borough. These will bring together partner organisations, policy makers, investors and local deliverers to work towards achieving the one percent increase in participation.
Our work covers ten London boroughs; Barking and Dagenham, Bexley, City of London, Greenwich, Hackney, Havering, Lewisham, Newham, Redbridge and Tower Hamlets.
