Steps to Health

Steps to Health is a Physical Activity referral scheme, provided by the Active Living Team working in partnership with local health services. The scheme aims to encourage people who are inactive and who may have health needs to take up some form of physical activity. People are referred to the service by their GP, practice nurses or other health professionals (for lifestyle assessments and an appropriate activity programme).

► Exercise Referral Leaflet

A wide range of activity sessions are provided to help and support people with different health needs. The Steps to Health scheme aims to encourage and provide opportunities to stay active on a long-term basis.

Health on Wheels
There is no doubt that cycling can be a great way to exercise. However, many people are put off cycling for a whole host of reasons. The 'Health on Wheels' initiative is aimed at helping adults get back into cycling in a safe, fun and healthy way. As part of the Health on Wheels initiative, we will be organising regular guided cycle rides and in particular encouraging people to take part who may not have been active for some time - even providing bikes and safety equipment (where possible) on the rides.

Health on Wheels

The 'Health on Wheels' initiative is a partnership between Wigan Leisure and Culture Trust, Cycle Projects (Manchester based cycle promotions/projects charity) and Ashton Leigh and Wigan PCT.

If you would like further information about the programme, then contact Clare Turner Activity Referral Officer on (01942) 871146.
