ACTIVE Lifestyle

Active Alnwick work very closely with Northumberland Care Trust to promote a healthy and active lifestyle.  This section of the website gives you information on why we should Get Active, how to Get Healthy and what Active Places are out there for us all to use.

An active lifestyle is key to improving and maintaining health. However, at present only 37% of men and 24% of women are sufficiently active to gain any health benefit.

Three in ten boys and four in ten girls aged 2 to 15 are not meeting the recommended levels of physical activity. The challenge we now face is to encourage more people to become more active.
