Sport and Leisure
Locally, the Forest of Dean District Council has a Sport & Physical Activity Strategy, the main aim of which is to “encourage wider participation in sport and physical activity in order to improve the health and well-being of residents and to support tourism and local business”.
To do this the Council is working with local companies to increase and improve opportunities here in the Forest. Nationally, with the 2012 Olympics coming up, sport is a rapidly expanding field, offering many opportunities for a wide range of careers, from playing or coaching in your chosen sport to managing sports centres or health clubs.
