This report presents findings from the sport and leisure module of the General Household Survey 2002/2003 (GHS). The GHS is a continuous survey based on a sample of the general population resident in private households in Great Britain. It is carried out by the Office for National Statistics on behalf of a number of government departments. The study, carried out as part of the GHS, updates information collected in 1987, 1990, 1993 and 1996. It asked people aged 16 and over about their participation in a wide range of sport and leisure activities. It also included, for the first time in 2002, questions about volunteering in sports and the arts. The module was commissioned by the Department for Culture, Media and Sports, Sport England, UK Sport and Arts Council England to provide a measure of the effectiveness of campaigns encouraging people to take more exercise and to help monitor the growth or decline of particular sports and leisure activities.
