Recommendation 40

We recommend that the Government provide clearer national guidance and sustained funding to health, sport and local partners so that proven models can expand and more people, especially those with long‑term conditions, poor mental health or at risk of inactivity, can benefit from accessible, community‑based activity as part of their overall health 57 and wellbeing support. The guidance should cover how activities like bowls and walking sports can be signposted via social prescribing. (Recommendation, Paragraph 130)
