At the heart of the centre are sports, health and fitness opportunities for the community. Surveys have shown that the levels of activity within the area are low, in particular amongst the elderly, ethnic minorities, people with disabilities and women. Statistical evidence demonstrates the link between inactivity and many diseases, for example, Coronary Heart Disease and Diabetes as well as other medical conditions such as obesity and depression.
