Exercise Referral Scheme

The Exercise Referral Scheme is run by Blaby District Council in partnership with East Leicestershire & Rutland CCG, Leicestershire County Council, Leicester-Shire & Rutland Sport, GP Practices and other Health Care Professionals.

It offers people who are currently inactive, and who have a medical condition that could benefit from physical activity the opportunity to participate in physical activity sessions.

• 12 week scheme
• Take part in exercise at a convenient venue in the local community
• Exercise under the guidance of qualified exercise professionals

The 12-week programme offers clients ongoing encouragement and support to make the first steps in becoming more active on a regular basis.

Activity options include the gym, health walks, gardening and community exercise classes. They are based at different locations/times across the district for ease of access.

If you are current physically inactive and would like to be referred onto the scheme, please go to your GP surgery and ask them to make a referral to us on your behalf.
