- Create a sustainable, innovative multi-activity environments for sport, social and health deprivation;
- Increase participation in sport and physical activity among all the sections of society but particularly those sections of society that are under-represented in sport and physical activity participation; and
- Ensure new ways of working are spread to and adopted by the sports sector and key partners.
This report reviews progress towards these objectives in the third year of the Active England programme. It also considers progress towards embedding a culture of self-evaluation among projects, overall programme impact and value for money.

The impact of achieving Sport England's target for making England an active nation by 2020 |
| Game Plan sets the challenge of moving from 30% of the population being regularly active in 1998 (5 times a week, 30 minutes, moderate intensity) to 70% in 2020. As a consequence of this broad target Sport England has adopted a target that by 2020 70% of the adult population will be taking part in sport (for at least 30 minutes) for a minimum of three times per week. In 2003, only 24.4% of the adult population currently achieves this target. This report outlines the impact of achieving this target by 2020. |
