Go to the project
150Club Breathe, Connect & Move is a 12 weeks rolling programme promoting both physical activity and health & wellbeing for the Newham Community, coaching and supporting participants towards 150 minutes of weekly physical activity. Two specialised physical activity sessions and a health café will be available to participants.
Pulmonary and cardiac diseases are among the highest causes of death in Newham. Both are also significantly worse in Newham than the national average. The programme will focus on supporting those living with these long-term conditions once discharged from NHS rehabilitation services.
No such service is currently available , it will be open to both patients discharged by NHS rehabilitation services, as well as self-referrals for these meeting the programme criteria.
The project provides support to become more physically active, improve the self-management of the participants health condition and thereby, reduce the rate of deterioration to improve quality of life.
The Health Café will be an informal space aimed at reducing social isolation, build relationships, encourage peer support, facilitate health focused discussions and sign posting to relevant services.
It will be open to both participants and these fitting the referral criteria but unable to be physically active.
