Sports and Sports Stadia Symposium

• Nov 2008: MHF to explore how sport can help health

Background

In October 2008, the Forum together with the Federation of Stadium Communities (FSC), staged a one day symposium looking at the role of sport and sports stadia in promoting men's health.  Presentations were heard from a range of community based projects that were using sport as a means to engage with men around a number of key public health issues including sexual health, mental health and diet and nutrition.  A report of the day will be available to download here shortly together with the speaker presentations.

The Forum is currently in discussions with key stakeholders to explore a programme of activity in this area which is likely to include a mapping exercise of current practice and further research.
