Getting Started

Being active is about finding the right activity for you. That might mean walking to the bottom of the garden, or joining a group of like minded people jog around the park. The choice is endless and the benefits of moving more can be found anywhere, regardless of common barriers such as time and cost.

If you’d like some help to get more movement into your daily life then you’ll find local opportunities in the below activity finder. This can help identify some local physical activity opportunities on your doorstep.

If you have specific needs, or requests, you can visit our inclusive spaces page for greater support and reassurance. If you really don’t know where to begin, just search by postcode and find what’s happening around Notts and Derbyshire.
