Active Bucks is a weekly programme of fun and inspiring activities taking place across Buckinghamshire; on days, evenings and weekends. It will continue throughout the year and new activities will be added regularly.

The Active Bucks project aspires to help all Bucks residents lead happier, healthier lives.

We have a walking football session in Stoke Poges on a Thursday and would appreciate help promoting this to the public at Threeways surgery and having GP’s promote this as a suitable form of exercise to refer people onto.

• Active Bucks is a countywide campaign to get more people more active more often

• 1 in 4 people in Bucks are inactive, undertaking less than ½ hour of moderate intensity physical activity a week. Many more are not active at optimal levels for their health.
  
  
  • Based on this we have now commissioned 142 new activity programmes which each run for 6 months
  
  
  • These programmes will deliver 3408 Active Bucks activity sessions
  
  
  • Activities start in May 2016 and run till September 2017
  
  
  

• The Active Bucks activities will cost a maximum of £2 per session, with a number of activities being free of charge.
  
  
  • A bespoke summary document is attached for the Active Bucks activities close to your practice.
  
  
  

• For up to date information about all Active Bucks activity sessions, including a description of the activity, venue, time etc. go to buckscc.gov.uk/activebucks.
  
  
  • 19 Community champions (volunteers) have been recruited to support the sustainability of the project
  
  
  

• In addition we are launching a countywide Active Bucks promotional campaign in June at activebucks.co.uk to help patients to find an activity of their choice that they will enjoy, within 20 minutes of their home or work, on a day and time that suits them, from a database of thousands of activities that charge a variety of prices, as well as the Active Bucks activities.

• The campaign offers a free first activity session from over 1500 different activities across Bucks, through registering for a voucher.
