PROJECT: Get Fit Falkland Social Prescribing.
PROJECT AIMS: the project funds 30 assisted places on each of three “blocks” of Couch to 5k during a year. The aim is to work with health care professionals in the Howe of Fife area, advising them of the availability of these spaces, offering to help with some of the communications, and feeding back metrics that show how well patients progress. Participants who sign up through this project will be supported appropriately within the local running group.
East Fife Sports Council is delighted to support Get Fit Falkland with funding. This is a ground breaking and forward thinking project, which will help establish important links between those delivering healthcare and those delivering sport and physical activity. This is a welcoming and fun group of runners, helping new members who may be trying this activity for the first time or returning after illness. The EFSC committee is extremely happy to help support the group and wish them the very best of luck with the project.
