Culture, sport and physical activity

The Coventry Cultural Partnership Group aims to “bring together the resources, energy and creativity of key organisations, groups, communities and people to work to meet the cultural development needs of the City of Coventry, in terms of residents and visitors, and input into the reduction of health inequalities; educational achievements; reduction of crime and antisocial behaviour; social and economic regeneration of its communities”.

Long-term outcomes:

• Coventry will have a strong, positive image and will be seen as a more attractive, vibrant and creative
city where people want to visit, live, work, learn and do business
• Coventry will offer distinctive and high quality cultural activities and enjoy a reputation for this
• Local people will be proud of the city's cultural activities
• The city will gain economic benefit from its cultural industry
• More Coventry people from all communities will be participating and enjoying cultural, leisure and sporting activities

Short-term priorities:

• Raise Coventry's profile with communities and visitors
• Develop local cultural and creative industries
• Make the city centre a vibrant cultural centre and connect the city's culture to local neighbourhoods
• Increase participation and volunteering in cultural, sports and physical activities
• Improve equality of access to culture and leisure opportunities and contribute to community cohesion in
the city
• Develop a distinctive programme for the 2012 Cultural Olympiad linked to the 50th anniversary of the
Cathedral in which Coventry can build on its status as a Centre of Peace and Reconciliation
