Get Berkshire Active carried out an online survey asking Berkshire residents about their physical activity habits and attitudes during the Covid-19 restrictions.

807 respondents took part in the survey 28 April to 17th May 2020 from each of the six Local Authorities in Berkshire.

The results have given us valuable insight into what physical activity people have been doing, how much and why, to enable us to provide better opportunities for all. See the key findings here.

We're all now spending a lot more time at home than we might like, which is why staying as physically active as possible is more important than ever.

Join the Movement is our brand-new campaign, funded by The National Lottery, giving you the advice and tools you need to help you do this while the country deals with the coronavirus outbreak.

Official advice is to stay at home, and to only go outside for one form of exercise a day, to shop for basic necessities, if there's a medical reason and travelling to essential work.

This inevitably means all our routines are changing. Read More »
