We know that getting active can be a challenge and you may need some extra support. This is where our active health scheme can help. It is an accessible service for adults who would benefit from a structured physical activity programme in a safe, supervised environment. The scheme will support you to make lifestyle changes especially if you have a limiting lifelong illness. The scheme will support your long-term participation in regular physical activity through goal setting and developing confidence, therefore, improving your mental, social and physical wellbeing.
The active health scheme is intended for people:
- living within the Harrogate district
- aged 18 years or above
- who have low to moderate risk health conditions
- who have severe coronary heart disease or early post-myocardial infarction/coronary artery bypass graft/angioplasty (cardiac rehab classes only)
- who have mild to moderate mental health problems (for example, depression, anxiety or stress)
- who have diabetes type one and two
- who have post physiotherapy musculoskeletal conditions (for example, knee, hip, shoulder)
If you think you may be eligible, please contact us or talk to a member of your healthcare team.
The medical professional will send a referral letter to the active health team. You will then shortly receive a phone call or letter inviting you to make an initial appointment with an exercise referral officer.
