Babergh & Mid Suffolk

Active Schools in Babergh & Mid Suffolk is a 3 year project from 2019-2021, jointly funded by Babergh & Mid Suffolk District Councils, West Suffolk CCG and Ipswich & East Suffolk CCG.

Over the 3 years, we aim to have worked with 20 Primary Schools in total which will be evenly spilt between each area, 10 in Babergh & 10 in Mid Suffolk.

Why Babergh & Mid Suffolk?

Both areas are predominantly rural and populations are projected to grow considerably between now and 2035. Babergh population will increase by 10% and Mid Suffolk by 20%.

Babergh

• 1900 children live poverty – less opportunities due to affordability/accessibility.
• 13.4% of the population do not have access to private transport.
• 21.8% Reception age children & 30.9% Year 6 age children with excess weight. 9.1% increase.

Mid Suffolk

• 1600 children live in poverty
• 10.7% of the population do not have access to private transport.
• 18.9% Reception age children & 28.5% Year 6 age children with excess weight. 9.6% increase.
