2. Active and Health Program Evaluation
Resolution: Moved by Councillor Andrew Fechner:
2. Active and Health Program Evaluation
This is a report concerning the evaluation of the Active and Healthy suite of programs, including a detailed evaluation of the most recent program addition, ‘Relaxation Week’ that were held in both October 2021 and February 2022.
Key findings of the Active and Healthy Participant Survey included 87% of participants experiencing improved physical health; 77% identifying improved mental health; and 87% of period rating their satisfaction ‘high’ to ‘very high’ with Active and Healthy programs. Survey contributors also identified a strong interest in participating in ‘wellbeing’ programs.
To explore community interest in participating in well-being and meditation style activities, a second ‘Relaxation Week’ event was held. Participation in most activities during this event was at capacity or above, however attendance was compromised due to poor weather over the event period. Due to positive survey feedback received, and Relaxation Week event booking data, it is recommended to introduce an Ipswich City Council Active and Healthy Wellbeing program to implement weekly meditation classes for the community in the 2022-2023 financial year.
