Raunds and Stanwick Children and Young People Activity Survey

Feedback updated 20 Apr 2026

We asked

We asked which local facilities you and your child use to stay active, how easy they are to use, and any perceived gaps in provision.

You said

The survey (89 respondents) was part of a wider piece of engagement in Raunds & Stanwick about opportunities for children and young people to be active. In addition to this survey we completed face to face engagement with parents at local play groups (40), face to face engagement with young people (12), and utilised the results of a pupil survey across Stanwick, Windmill & St Peters primary schools (116) and pupils in secondary schools in East Northants South (508). The priority areas of focus are: more active play for 0-5s, supporting teen girls to be more active, increasing reporting of ASB, increased holiday provision, and better awareness of opportunities to be active locally.

We did

We held a community meeting to review and discuss the results of the engagement work in early March and now have 4 task groups to take forwards actions to improve active play for 0-5s, teen girl sessions, improve reporting of anti social behaviour, and a marketing campaign to increase awareness of what's on locally for young people.

Overview

The community we live in helps support our health. For example, having a play park, a warm safe place for young people to hang out and socialise. In particular, being active is one way to make friends, have fun, feel good and look after our bodies. It doesn’t just mean sport either, it can include a safe route to walk to school or skate park for example.

North Northamptonshire Council’s Community Team, Raunds Town Council and Stanwick Parish Council are working together to better understand how our community supports our children and young people’s health and wellbeing.

We would like to learn more about:

  1. What’s available for children and young people to be active in Raunds & Stanwick
  2. Any difficulties there are in using the facilities we have.
  3. What other facilities or clubs you feel are needed to allow your child to be active e.g. soccer tots, dance sessions, warm safe place to hang out.

Responses will be anonymous and the results will help us plan what else we can do to support healthy lifestyles in our community.  We will share the results of this survey via the schools newsletter and council websites.

We are interested in hearing the views of parents and carers of children and young people in the Raunds and Stanwick area.

This survey closes at 23.59 on 13 February 2026.
