The Royal Borough aims to assist and encourage local people to adopt a healthier lifestyle by providing a range of sport and recreational facilities, accessible to all parts of the community.
We will continually improve the standards of service provided and ensure that facilities are both pleasant and safe to use.
We will work in partnership with others to provide opportunities, coaching and courses for individuals and local sports clubs.
The borough provides various sport and physical activities for all residents, regardless of age and ability.
Most of the youth activities finish during school holidays but re-start again during term time. For further information, please see Youth Sports Development Team
For further information, see the Sports Development page.

The Kensington and Chelsea Community Sport and Physical Activity Network (known as CSPAN) involves a wide range of partners, organisations and services, from the public, private and voluntary sectors. The group aims to increase participation in sport and active recreation, and to increase sport opportunities within the community. See the CSPAN page for more information.
The CSPAN was officially launched on 8 May at Kensington Leisure Centre by Mayor Joanna Gardener. The CSPAN encourages local partners to work together to increase the opportunities for all in the community to participate in sport and physical activity.
