Where movement becomes your spark
Most Get Active Programs run for 10 weeks, with one session per week. Every session combines physical activity with a wellbeing topic, designed to support your everyday wellbeing.
Your GAP Facilitator will tailor the program to your group, and this includes the physical activity and the weekly wellbeing themes.
What to bring?
A drink bottle
Sun protection or a raincoat, depending on the weather
Any medication you might need, like an asthma puffer or jellybeans
Most importantly: self-kindness, a positive attitude, and a wiliness to give it a go and have fun!
What happens after your GAP?
Our programs are deliberately designed to provide participants with activities and connections in their local area that can continue after the program is complete.
You’ll have:
Any medication you might need, like an asthma puffer or jellybeans
New connections and friends
A range of activities in your local area that you’ve experienced
Practical tools to help you keep motivated, moving and feeling good
Many GAP participants continue to meet up regularly on an informal basis, or join other community activities together.
Get in touch with our GAP Officer if you have any questions about the program.

What happens in GAP?
Across 10 weeks, you’ll meet once a week for sessions that mix movement with meaningful wellbeing conversations. Your GAP Facilitator tailors each session to your group, shaping both the activities and the weekly themes so they genuinely support your everyday wellbeing.
Topics will include information such as:
Getting started with movement: taking the first steps and finding what works for you
Setting goals you can actually reach: creating achievable, meaningful goals that stick
Nutrition and healthy eating (our only must-do session): simple, practical approaches to eating well
Boosting self-esteem: and building confidence
Managing stress: practical tools for everyday life
Body comfort: feeling good in your own body
Being age positive: celebrating what your body can do at any age
Motivation, and maintaining momentum: keeping going, even if things get touch
Get your body moving..
Physical activities will be identified by the group as something they would like to try. If you have an activity in mind you’d like to try, be sure to let your facilitator know!
Some of the activities we have featured in recent GAPs include:
