Changing the Physical Activity Landscape
County Durham Sport (CDS) is one of 49 County Sports Partnerships nationwide responsible for the strategic coordination of sport and physical activity at a sub-regional level. The Partnership operates through an established delivery system of national, regional and local partners, providing an effective and efficient infrastructure for sport and physical activity based projects.
In recognition of this strategic role, NHS County Durham (NHS CD) has commissioned CDS to develop, coordinate and manage the CPAL project a physical activity intervention project in support of the NHS Health Check Programme.
The project has a budget of £4.5m over a three year period, ending in March 2013 and has a management group made up of representatives from CDS and NHS CD, who have been engaged in a detailed process to develop the scope of the project, identifying the key outcomes based on existing national and regional evidence. The scope and long term outcome for the project was endorsed by the County Durham Health and Wellbeing Partnership in May 2009.
