The Active Wellness Scheme is an initiative to help anyone within the King’s Community who has low physical or mental wellbeing and/or a mental health issue through the use of exercise therapy to improve their general wellbeing and thrive in their day-to-day activities.
Unlock your potential:
The Active Wellness Scheme aims to provide participants with the tools and resources that will empower them to make sustainable lifestyle changes that will allow them unlock their full potential.
Physical activity has been proven to have a profound positive effect on general wellbeing and quality of life. Whether you have struggled with low mood, poor sleep and concentration, anxiety, stress or depression, have a short-term illness, or a chronic physical health problem, we aim to show you how to begin changing your lifestyle for the better.
