ANGUSalive Be Active Live Well

ANGUSalive’s BE ACTIVE…live well programme supports those living with | or at risk of | a long term health condition to increase their physical activity. The programme may also benefit those who haven’t exercised before or who have not been active for some time and just don’t know where to start.

Be Active…Live Well continues to support people across Angus living with and beyond cancer to get active and stay active. Our team have undergone specialist training to ensure you are supported to find a suitable and safe activity | whether you are coming to us before | during or after cancer treatment.

Referrals can be made by any health professional including doctors | health visitors | practice nurses | physiotherapists and dieticians. People can also self-refer by completing the referral form on our website.

The benefits of being physically active include reducing the risk of a range of diseases | e.g. coronary heart disease | stroke | and type 2 diabetes. It also helps to maintain a healthy weight | helps maintain ability to perform everyday tasks with ease | improves self-esteem and reduces symptoms of depression and anxiety.
