This Physical Activity for Health programmes are designed to.

create increased opportunities for those with chronic conditions and older adults to be active in ways which fit in to everyday lives and which suits individual needs, circumstances, and interests.
remove the barriers which people with chronic conditions or older adults face to being active and encouraging these people to participate locally.
facilitate development of a community physical activity participation stream for people living with chronic disease to support them to: re-engage with physical activity; or for those who have completed a structured rehabilitation programme re-engage with community physical activity.
