Public benefits
The public benefits that flow from the promotion of community participation in healthy recreation are: (i) improvements in fitness and health and sense of well-being for all ages; (ii) improved community life and greater social cohesion; (iii)connects young people to their communities and provides them with attractive alternatives to risk-taking
and/or anti-social behaviours. The beneficiaries are the general public. These benefits are evidenced through health studies and surveys which conclude that participation in sport and recreational activities improves health and well-being and strengthens social cohesion. No harm or private benefit arises from these purposes.
