Live Active

If you struggle to meet the physical activity recommendations (described on our previous page) and require help and support to increase your physical activity levels, the Live Active Referral Scheme may be for you.

Over the course of a 12 month period, and through the support of our one to-one consultations either in person or on the telephone, our specialist Live Active Advisors will provide you with the knowledge, tools and confidence you need to meet your goals.

You will be invited to attend an initial appointment at a local leisure centre where your advisor will help you choose from a range of suitable activities such as gym sessions, swimming, exercise classes, health walks and more. Rest assured that our Advisors have a wealth of knowledge of the physical activity opportunities available to you locally.

You will have a personalised plan in terms of what type of support you will need and how often, and your advisor will help you cope with setbacks if they arise.

Throughout your time on the Live Active programme, if applicable, you can also receive support to access NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde services such as Smokefree Services and the Weight Management Service.

Please note, to access the Live Active Referral Scheme, a referral must be made through a GP or other health professional. In the majority of cases this can be requested over the phone without the need for a GP appointment.
