The Active for Life Project has been running since 2005, supporting people living within targeted communities in Brighton & Hove to live active lifestyles. The project caters for all ages, and provides advice and guidance to people looking to take part in local sport and physical activity.

The project was initially funded with support from Sport England; however since April 2009 it has been funded by Brighton & Hove City Council, NHS Brighton & Hove and the Chances4Change Big lottery fund. The project is hosted by Brighton & Hove City Council Sport Development Team.

• Combat societal issues such as anti-social behaviour by using sport as a positive diversionary activity
• Reduce societal issues caused by isolation amongst people living in local communities
• Remove inequality to access local sport and physical activity
• Increase local skills to develop and sustain community sport and physical activity
