Exercise Referral Scheme

What is the Exercise Referral Scheme?

The Exercise Referral Scheme has been helping residents of Huntingdonshire become more active and to manage their health condition through supported self-care. You will be assisted throughout the scheme by a named Physical Activity & Exercise Specialist, helping you to enjoy and maintain physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle.

The scheme is run by Huntingdonshire District Council’s Active Lifestyle's team to help improve the health of the community, promote active healthy lifestyles and help decrease sedentary-related illnesses.

Detailed information can be found in the Exercise Referral Scheme Outline.

How does it work?

Registered health professionals can refer people who will benefit from a personalised 12 week exercise programme. Once we have received your referral we will get in touch, initially with a letter, informing you of the options and then with a follow-up phone call to book you in to start the scheme.
