Move Together Buckinghamshire

Move Together Buckinghamshire
Supporting you to move more, feel better, and stay independent

Move Together Buckinghamshire is a free programme designed to help residents aged 50 and over, who are living with a long-term health condition, to be more active and improve their physical and mental wellbeing.

Funded by Buckinghamshire Council’s Public Health Team and delivered by Active in the Community (AITC), this three-year initiative is all about helping people move more in a way that suits them — with professional support every step of the way.
