 Reading
F. Read the article about a government program to keep people healthy.

(1) Local governments have had to take on a new responsibility; that of ensuring that people in their
communities stay fit and healthy. Birmingham Council is already hot on the case. For the past few years,
they have been encouraging local residents to enroll in the Be Active program, which allows them to use
local leisure services completely free of charge. The program is free and open to everyone in Birmingham,
but participants must register to obtain a membership card. They can then use the facilities in leisure
centers across the city at certain times of the day.

(2) 29 leisure centers are signed up to be a part of the program. Each leisure center must offer a minimum
of one hour of swimming time and an hour of gym time to Be Active members. In reality, in some
establishments in the more deprived areas, 70% of opening hours are reserved for Be Active members.
Exercise classes and badminton courts are also made available on top of the standard facilities. Be Active
classes are also being provided in schools and community centers. There are also guided bike rides,
which have inspired proposals to roll out more activities in public spaces. These include sports games in
parks, and walking with strollers for new mothers.

(3) Since it was launched in 2008, a third of the local population, a total of 360,000 people, has signed up
for the program. 60% of these are from minority groups, and the average age is 49, as opposed to 29, the
figure for private gyms. The majority were not previously members of a sports club of any kind, half were
overweight or obese, and a fifth considered themselves to be in poor health, indicating that the program
is reaching the people who need it most. Research also shows that since Be Active was set up, there has
been a rise in demand for information about reducing alcohol intake and quitting smoking.

(4) Statistics show that for every $1 spent on the Be Active program, $23 is saved in health services. Sadly, the
program has suffered from budget cuts, and lately it has had to reduce the hours available to members.
Nonetheless, other councils are interested in the great strides made by Birmingham Council, and officials
from Birmingham have been holding workshops with representatives from other councils to spread the
word about what can be achieved.
