The National Context:
Climbing Higher
In January 2005 the Welsh Assembly launched its long term national strategy for sport and physical activity entitled 'Climbing Higher' which sets out its strategic direction for Wales over the next 20 years.
Climbing Higher seeks to map out how to maximise the contribution that sport and physical activity can make to general well being across the key areas of health, economy, culture, society, environment and Wales on the world stage. In summary, the priorities for sport and physical activity are identified as...
- Wales needs to be more physically active in order to be a healthier nation.
- Wales needs healthy citizens to deliver long-term prosperity.
- Wales needs to maximise the synergy between sport, physical activity and the natural environment.
- Wales needs its people to be more 'physically literate'.
- Wales needs more physically active communities.
- As well as the success of individuals,Wales needs systematic and sustainable success in priority
The Recreation Services Strategy for Sport and Leisure embraces the key elements of Climbing Higher.
