Health and Active Referral Scheme

The health and active referral scheme offers people who are inactive (less than 30 minutes of activity a week) and have a long-term physical or mental condition access to appropriate physical activity. People need encouragement and support to help them to make the first steps to becoming more active on a regular basis, and this is what the Exercise Referral Scheme is all about.

Take a look at our Exercise Referral Page for more information about the support available.
