Active for Health is a free 12-week activity programme to help you become active and move more.
The programme will include a range of activities to help you improve your fitness, socialise, learn new skills, and ultimately improve your overall wellbeing.
Located at either a leisure centre or in a public open space, the programme consists of 12 weeks of group activities including fitness classes, walking sports, team games, healthy eating, and wellbeing walks. Activities will be chosen by the group in consultation with the coach.

A recent graduate of the programme said: "At the end of the 12 weeks we all had lower blood pressure, had lost some weight and got faster at the shuttle run fitness test. To say we were delighted was an understatement, particularly as we had all enjoyed the social side of meeting up each week, becoming good friends. I would totally recommend people to give this a go, it was a lovely experience."
