Background

The areas of Dudley, Sandwell, Walsall and Wolverhampton are collectively known as ‘The Black Country’. Located at the heart of England, its residents strongly identify with the region’s geography, its traditions and its history.

It is a place beset by inequalities, with more than half a million residents living within some of the most deprived parts of the country.

The physical activity levels of Black Country people are significantly determined by their income, ethnicity and where they live. Deprivation promotes lower life expectancy, a higher prevalence of long-term health conditions and less disposable income. Active Lives data from Sport England consistently identifies the Black Country as the most inactive Active Partnership area within England. Data released in April shows that 34.6% of adults were classed as inactive; the national average is 25.1%.
