What is the Exercise Referral Scheme?
Everyone Active's Exercise Referral scheme is designed to help individuals with long-term health conditions increase their physical activity to enhance their health and wellbeing.
Our goal is to provide a safe and welcoming environment within our leisure centres where everyone can become more active, whilst raising awareness about the benefits of physical activity and fostering long-term behaviour change.
Who can refer to our exercise referral programme?
All health professionals including Social Prescribers can refer individuals to an exercise referral specialist cat their chosen Everyone Active Centre by using the secure Everyone Active Referral webform.

What does the Exercise Referral Scheme involve?
Our Exercise Referral instructor will find out what is important to your patient and help them to find activities that they will enjoy!

However, support and reviews are offered for 12 months following their referral for long term behaviour change.
Activities vary at each centre but may include:
Walking sports or led walks
Group exercise classes such as chair-based exercise
Casual swimming or water-based activities such as Aqua
Gym based exercise following a program set by our coordinators
Social groups including coffee mornings for increased peer support
