Healthwise

Our Physical Activity on Referral programme helps people take positive steps towards better health through safe, supported physical activity. Designed for those at risk of disease or living with a health condition, the programme empowers inactive individuals to gradually increase their activity levels and build the confidence to stay active long term.

Healthwise is designed for individuals who would benefit from additional support to improve their health and wellbeing through positive lifestyle changes.

The programme is suitable for those who are:

• aged 16 years and over
• residents of Swindon or registered with a GP surgery within Swindon
• ready to make meaningful, long-term changes to their daily habits, including physical activity and overall lifestyle choices
