Physical Activity Development Project
This service is aimed at assisting people with mental health problems to become more physically active than they are at present. This achieved by providing a variety of taster sessions, organised events and classes, and accompanied activities.
This service is for adults in contact with mental health services or their GP for mental health problems.
It is recognised that individuals may gain many benefits from physical activity including:
- Short and long term reduction in stress
- Improved confidence
- Increased self-esteem
- Weight management
- Making new friends
The service is free but you will be expected to pay the going rate for activities you take part in. The project worker will be able to advise you on council leisure and health cards which offer discounts or free access to certain facilities.
