Living active lives in Moray and improving health and well-being through physical  activity and sport

Early years – Changing the culture in families so that active living becomes habitual: introducing activity from birth, involving the family group and encouraging basic skill acquisition at a young age.

School Age Children - increasing the physical activity levels of schoolchildren and providing them with the basic skills to participate to their full potential in a wide range of play and sports.

Community Participation – targeting the sedentary population, focussing on effecting behaviour change to reach the recommended activity levels. Maintaining active lifestyles and increasing activity levels in key population groups.
