ACTIVE SURREY TO PLAY CRUCIAL ROLE IN DEVELOPING PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR HEALTH PATHWAYS

Active Surrey is set to play a significant role in how the health sector across England supports adults to develop a more active lifestyle.

Active Surrey is set to play a significant role in how the health sector across England supports adults to develop a more active lifestyle.

It has been selected as one of 39 organisations that will help design and test possible solutions so that the health sector, together with physical activity providers, can support those living with, or at risk of, a long-term health condition.

Charlotte Long from Active Surrey says it’s a vital piece of work:

 “We are delighted to be part of this important project and are looking forward to working with our Surrey system champions who know the huge impact moving more can have.”

The Physical Activity for Health Pathways is an Active Partnerships National Organisation project. Move Consulting was selected by APNO to work in collaboration with them on this important project which seeks to develop pathways for physical activity in health and care systems. The project is funded by Sport England.

Active Surrey will now join one of five communities of practice to co-design information tools and guidance for the sector to help create the pathways.

Annie Holden, Strategic Lead for Health from Active Partnerships National Organisation said:

“Currently, one in four of us is living with multiple long-term health conditions. That statistic is set to rise to two thirds of us aged over 65 by 2035. We know that our health care systems are under pressure, yet physical activity could help prevent up to 40% of these conditions. Furthermore, a more active lifestyle could help to manage more than 20 of the most common physical and mental health conditions.

Working with a broad range of organisations will really help us to create pathways that work locally and we’re looking forward to driving ahead with Move Consulting and its research partner, Coventry University.”
