Here's a bit more information about our Exercise Referral Programme.
Most people who live in Blackpool with long term health conditions or are at risk of developing them can be referred.
These conditions include:
- Anxiety
- Arthritis
- Asthma

If you have a different health condition which is not on this list, you may still be eligible. Speak to your GP, Physio or other health care practitioner
We do accept self referrals, there is a link to the form below.
Please be aware however, if you have a medical condition, such as those listed above, we would need you to be referred by a health professional so we can ensure we have the relevant information on your conditions so we can support you correctly.
When we’ve received your referral, our team will contact you to invite you to a welcome session.
In this session one of our friendly and welcoming instructors will chat with you about your medical and physical activity history.
Together you’ll decide which of the different activities we have available will be the best place for you to start your journey with us.
All of the following are available to members on the scheme.
