Information Sharing Booklet

This information sharing booklet is intended as a simple guide to the 88 physical activity projects and interventions submitted to be showcased at the 8 th British Heart Foundation National Centre Conference. ‘Opening doors to an active life: how to engage inactive communities'.

This booklet focuses on projects across the UK working to increase physical activity levels among the following inactive groups:

  • Black and minority ethnic groups
  • People with mental ill health
  • Older adults
  • Socially deprived communities
  • Girls and women
  • People with disabilities

The aim of this booklet is to:

  • Encourage sharing of good practice among health and physical activity professionals
  • Increase awareness of the range of interventions taking place across the UK
  • Help identify ‘gaps' in physical activity provision.
