MSF Launches Active Sunnah Survey 2026

At Muslim Sports Foundation, we believe that physical activity is not simply about sport — it is about health, wellbeing, confidence and community.

As part of our commitment to ensuring our work is informed by real experiences which is why we are launching a survey that seeks to better understand how our communities are engaging with physical activity today, what is changing, and where meaningful barriers still remain.

Your insight will help shape practical action, stronger partnerships and more equitable opportunities for all.

This survey builds on our previous research and forms part of Muslim Sports Foundation’s continued commitment to evidence-led action. It has been designed to help us understand whether participation levels are changing and, more importantly, to identify the factors that continue to prevent parts of our community from being physically active.

Through this survey, we are exploring:

  • Current levels of physical activity
  • The relationship between physical activity and mental wellbeing
  • Structural barriers such as cost, facilities and access
  • Faith, cultural and family considerations
  • Experiences of safety, inclusion and representation

This is not simply a data collection exercise. The findings will directly inform our engagement with mosques, local authorities, national partners and the wider sporting ecosystem. They will shape the next phase of our Active Sunnah strategy and strengthen our case for more equitable provision across the sector.

The survey takes approximately four minutes to complete and is open to individuals aged 16 and above.
