Age 50+ Leisure Needs Survey 2008

A new survey was undertaken in partnership with the Swadlincote District 50+ Forum, South Derbyshire Council for Voluntary Services, Safer South Derbyshire and Derbyshire County Primary Care Trust to find out the involvement of those aged 50+ in the District in leisure and physical activities and also opinions on community safety in South Derbyshire.

Consultation Period: until 30th April 2008

Who got involved: South Derbyshire residents aged over fifty.

Results: We received 800 completed questionnaires. Some of the key recommendations from the consultation exercise are:

Share the results of this survey with groups affiliated to the Safer South Derbyshire Partnership e.g. neighbourhood watch groups
Ensure that future promotional campaigns regarding fear of crime target communication channels that the 50+ age group is already using as defined in the results.
Use the contact details of respondents who expressed an interest in Liberation Day to invite them to the next event
