A new health initiative to educate people about the benefits of sitting less and moving more is kicking off across areas of High Wycombe and Aylesbury this month.
Bucks Council will be introducing a range of different community events for people of all ages and backgrounds. The 16-month Active Communities pilot, which will be run in West Wycombe, Booker, Cressex & Castlefield, Abbey and Aylesbury North West, is the first of its kind in the UK.
Dr Jane O’Grady, Bucks Council’s Director of Public Health has said :
“This initiative is not about getting people to take up sport, go to the gym or to start running marathons. We are simply asking people not to sit for too long. Just this one, small change can have a really positive impact on health and wellbeing."
