Re-Energise aims to enable people to lead more active, fulfilling and happier lives, by:

• enabling people to be more physically active
• creating opportunities for people to develop stronger social networks
• reducing levels of depression, anxiety and stress

Why?

• Focusing on long-term lifestyle changes rather than a short-term, quick-fix approach.
• Increased physical activity reduces the causes of mental and physical health problems.
• A holistic approach will reduce levels of long-term conditions, stress and depression, and reduce mortality rates.
• Reducing these effects will reduce demand for clinical services, including prescribing rates, primary care and hospital admissions.

What difference does it make?
