Get Yourself Active Local

What is it?

A 12 month programme (started March 2025) with co-production and incorporating lived experiences at every stage of development and implementation.

For Physical Activity Providers
This area will focus on influencing and supporting the physical activity sector to introduce co-production and its importance in practice. If the physical activity sector is working in partnership with Disabled people and those living with a long-term health condition in the design, delivery and evaluation of physical activity, there will be fewer barriers. This is because people’s lived experiences will shape and influence the programme.
For Social Care (paid and unpaid carers)
This workforce is essential to the people they support.

When they understand the importance of physical activity and what’s on offer, they can better support Disabled people and those with a long-term health condition to lead a more active life. We will aim to support the sector to feel more confident and knowledgeable around supporting Disabled people and those with a long-term health condition to be more active.
