Being more active is good medicine!
We understand that getting started can be challenging, and we work with a collective of local partners including GP’s, physiotherapists, and other health and social care professionals who can refer you to the scheme. Figuring out the right activity for you is not easy, but many people with health conditions find that being active helps them to manage their symptoms, as well as improve general wellbeing. Our team will help inspire you to find your own ways to move more every day.
I want to Move More
We contact new referrals to book a telephone appointment via our Customer Hub. This approach ensures that you arrange a convenient date and time to connect with one of our Exercise Referral Specilaists.
Our first call with you aims to finalise your information for accessing the scheme and explain in detail how the programme works.
You will also be expected to complete a questionnaire at the beginning and end of the programme as part of your assessment.
We will also arrange for a face-to-face consultation to offer a ‘what matters to you’ conversation, helping determine the best way for us to support you.
Access to wider community sessions may be a preferred and we can guide you through locally led activity options.
In return for a one-off payment of £33 (nb. targeted postcodes may be eligible for a discount) you will have access to Trafford Leisure’s gym, swimming and group exercise class timetable, including PARs member only / supervised sessions with level 3/4 instructors.
We will design a 12-week programme bespoke to your individual requirements, supported with regular reviews.
After successfully completing the supported programme, we will offer further guidance, encouragement and resources to help you continue your journey towards physical activity in way that feels right for you.
