Outcome
Outcome
Utrecht Sports Agreement has been creating stronger collaborations to offer easy access to sports and physical activity to all age and social groups in the city. Following the first Sports Agreement in Utrecht from 2019, the city and other involved organisations utilised the monitoring and evaluation process to enhance the agreement, strengthen sports providers, and fostering a positive sports culture, thereby giving sports and physical activity greater significance. Moreover, the agreement is empowering people to feel safe and welcome in participating in sports and physical activities in their own neighbourhood. The agreement is also aligned with Utrecht Sports policy and the city's Vision.
