1.	WHAT IS THIS REPORT ABOUT/PURPOSE?

1.1	The purpose of this report is to inform members about the performance of the Sport and Active Lifestyles Team (SALT) during 2013/14.

2.	BACKGROUND

2.1	Each year an Annual Report is produced to inform elected members, stakeholders, partners and commissioners of the activities, programmes and performance of the Sport and Active Lifestyles Team.

3.	KEY IMPACTS/RISKS

3.1	Cambridgeshire County Council’s Public Health Team has commissioned work for physical activity programmes delievered by SALT in 2014/15 (Huntingdonshire Health Walks and Exercise Referral).

3.2	Ring fenced public health funding at Cambridgeshire County Council ends in March 2015 and future commissioning arrangements are unclear. The potential implications of the loss of Public Health funds would mean approx 2,000 Huntingdonshire residents (recording over 32,500 visits in 2013/14) would no longer be able to access services provided by this authority

3.3	Funding for sport related programmes has been helped during 2013/14 with the securing of a new lottery grant to November 2016 through the ‘Delivering Activity and Sport in Huntingdonshire’ project (DASH)

4.	LINK TO THE LEADERSHIP DIRECTION

4.1	The work of the team links directly to the Council’s Strategic Theme ‘Working with our Communities’ and in particular the priorities of ‘Improve health and well-being’ and ‘Empower local communities’
