FAB (Fit and Active Barnet) Framework Refresh
The Fit and Active Barnet initiative is expanding with a new action plan for 2026-2027, addressing stalled life expectancy and health inequalities.
Barnet's Health and Wellbeing Board reviewed the Fit and Active Barnet (FAB) Partnership's progress in March 2026, noting over 58,000 residents had signed up for the FAB Card. The initiative, which promotes physical activity, is set to expand with a new action plan for 2026-2027. This expansion aims to address stalled life expectancy and health inequalities across the borough.
Since April 2025, FAB Card registrations have increased by 14%, providing residents with free or discounted access to leisure facilities, including free swimming for under-8s. The programme is a key part of Barnet Council's efforts to create a more active and healthier borough, as highlighted by Councillor Alison Moore, Chair of the Health and Wellbeing Board.
