Basingstoke and Deane Sport and Physical Activity Alliance (SPAA) is a network of partner organisations who share a common aim of increasing the number of people within the borough participating in sport and physical activity.
As well as being a great source of enjoyment, sport and physical activity has proven benefits to physical and mental well-being, educational attainment, social cohesion and economic development. However, statistics for Basingstoke and Deane show that 32.4% of adults do not do the recommended amount of physical activity of 150 minutes per week, and 65.7% of adults are classified as overweight or obese.
