Moving Communities Place Survey

Residents who want to improve their health, get more active, or simply share their experiences of sport and physical activity are being encouraged to take part in a new Moving Communities Place Survey.

Launched by Active Wirral, Wirral Council’s leisure service, the survey gives everyone the chance to have their say on the services, facilities, and opportunities available locally — and to help shape what comes next.

Wirral is the first area in the country to run the new survey which is part of a national Sport England project, following a similar and successful survey in early 2024. The findings will help Active Wirral and Sport England understand what helps people to become more active, what barriers exist, and how local services can better support residents to lead healthier, more active lives.

Last year, Wirral received the largest number of responses in the country, leading directly to improvements in the borough’s community leisure offer. Since then, a new high-quality artificial football pitch has opened at Bidston Sports and Activity Centre, and several new health and wellbeing services have been introduced in leisure centres across Wirral.

This year, Active Wirral is particularly keen to hear from residents who are less active but would like to make a change, as well as people living in Bidston, Birkenhead and Seacombe, which are key focus areas for Sport England’s Place Partnership work.

The survey will take around five minutes to complete and is completely anonymous. It’s open to all people age 16+ who live and work in Wirral.
