We're taking a snapshot of how much our community is currently moving so that we can continue to improve your facilities and services.

Our goal is to enable every member of our community to reach the Chief Medical Officer's recommendation of 150 minutes of moderate physical activity per week. To do this, we need to guarantee a high-class user experience with commensurate facilities, services and programmes. We also need to reach people who have found it difficult to integrate physical activity into their daily lives and, in the process, make it feel more approachable and enjoyable. 

To make sure these programmes and facilities meet our community's needs, we need to regularly check in to understand the community’s current levels of activity. That is why we’re launching the 'How Active Are You?’ survey as a quick, annual check-in, so that we can keep what works going and, crucially, understand how we can motivate further progress. 

Why is it important?

Earlier this year, we launched 'The Future Of...' Physical Activity and Sport strategy which outlines our ambitious targets for the next five years. Our vision is to make every member of the Imperial community more active through five key areas: Physical Wellbeing, Active, Active Curriculum, Infrastructure and Imperial Athletes. 

There is no longer an argument as to the transformative effect physical activity can have on our wellbeing and work. However, there is still so much to be done in supporting people to make positive lifestyle changes that can increase their activity levels.

That is why it is so vital for us to hear from as many people as possible across the Imperial community to understand how active you are and what we can do to support you to take up more physical activity.

The survey should only take a couple of minutes to complete and you will be entered into a prize draw to win £500. Any thoughts you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
