In the Plan we make 10 commitments covering the key areas where the Department, working together with our partners in our sponsored bodies, in Government, in local government, in the voluntary and private sectors, can make a real difference.
We will work to build a comprehensive offer to young people on culture – known as Creative Sparks. We will review how National Lottery money has been spent so far on arts, sport, heritage and film projects, and then consult about how proceeds should be spent in these areas after 2009. We will continue to improve our support for elite athletes, rewarding success with the Talented Athlete and 2012 Scholarships. We will persuade nearly half a million adults per year to become physically active. We will complete our programme to replace outdated licensing and gambling laws, balancing personal freedom and prosperity with strengthening protection for the vulnerable. We will provide a virtual high-street for tourism and leisure offering an information and booking service to on-line users.
The title of the Plan is Living Life to the Full. That is what our sectors can offer – the ability for everyone to live their lives and develop their talents to the fullest extent.
