The Active Living Team provides programmes to support people in becoming more physically active to improve their health and quality of life. We are responsible for maintaining and increasing the numbers of people involved in health and physical activity programmes across Wigan Borough. The Active Living Team also provides targeted physical activity and health programmes for sedentary adults, priority target groups, e.g. older adults, learning disabilities, chronic health need, under 5s (including parents and carers), employees and targeted communities.
