BENEFITS OF BEING AN ACTIVE FRIEND

As an Active Friend, you have the opportunity to inspire your local community to be more active. You can also contribute to the health and wellbeing of those you support. This could help you build your confidence and feel more connected to other people in your neighbourhood.

Supporting others to move more, might also help you to get active yourself. Being physically active comes with a range of benefits for your social, emotional, mental, and physical health. Take a closer look at the image below to explore this further.
