Keeping communities active

Councils can help residents through the cost-of-living crisis.

Cultural and leisure services provide vital social and economic support to residents.

Parks have been lifelines for residents during the pandemic, but many face an uncertain future because of lost income.

Sport and physical activity have a key role to play in supporting and leading communities through COVID-19.

Libraries are acting as innovation hubs for entrepreneurship.
