The Community
Programme
Information on free local healthy activities and courses
What is The Community Programme?
The Community Programme is a range of free health and wellbeing activities designed to help
local residents become more active and to lead healthier lifestyles. The type of activities provided
are based on what local residents, health practitioners and voluntary organisations told us was
needed, combined with evidence of what really works.
How does it help?
■ Supports people to make positive lifestyle
changes
■ Maximises community resources and signposts
residents to activities close to where they live
■ Helps patients reduce the risk of cardiovascular
disease (e.g. stroke)
■ Supports people to tackle obesity, poor diet,
smoking, anxiety and aids recovery from alcohol
and drug dependency
Who benefits from getting
involved?
Everyone is welcome! Research shows that the
following groups will particularly benefit from getting
involved:
■ Families who want to get more active and achieve
a healthy weight
■ Men aged over 40 (particularly men aged over 55)
July 2013
■ People with anxiety and/or depression
■ People who have completed alcohol or drug
treatment programmes
Call 0151 630 8383 for more information
or visit www.wirralct.nhs.uk

Lifestyle & Weight Management services. For full details please see the end of this document.
