The key goals of Kensington & Chelsea CSPAN’s strategy

They work together to lead, plan and deliver sport, activity and wellbeing opportunities in Kensington and Chelsea. They act as a voice to engage at a local, regional and national level.
When developing sporting provision, the key goals of the Kensington and Chelsea CSPAN should be considered. Their current goals are listed left.
Key areas of workTargeting areas and groups where health is poor and participation is low.
Provide children with a positive experience of sport and physical activity from an early age, and providing pathways for them to continue to enjoy sport and physical activity throughout their lives.
Helping out clubs and organisations provide high quality opportunities for residents to volunteer their skills and services.
Ensure that, over time, all our parks, sports, leisure and transport infrastructure reaches a consistently high standard across the whole borough.
