how you feel about being active,
your current habits and your future intentions. This will help to identify what support and opportunities are needed in our local
communities to help you and other residents lead healthy active lives.

We would really appreciate your support in helping us to share the survey far and wide, ensuring we get responses that are representative of the
whole of Leicestershire, Leicester and Rutland.

Local Skills Plan Launched
What is the Local Skills Project and what are the goals?
Our local skills project brings together employers, education providers, and employability-focused organisations to identify the key skills
improvements, workforce challenges and priorities through local skills action plans.
The goal is to ensure the sector can deliver health, economic, and social benefits to our nation by:
*Ensuring local colleges, universities, and training providers offer education and training that matches what employers need.
*Provide employers with the skilled workforce they need to offer inclusive opportunities which meet the needs of diverse local communities and
drive business success.
*Give people who work in the sector great career pathways.
