This World Stroke Day, we’re highlighting the important role that movement and physical activity can play in supporting our health and wellbeing.

From getting out for a walk, joining a local activity session, trying something new or simply finding more opportunities to move throughout the day - every minute of movement adds up🚶‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Through our Physical Activity Clinical Champion (PACC) training, we help people and organisations build the confidence and skills to support more physical activity.
We’re delighted that the Cornwall County Stroke Team are taking part, developing their skills to have conversations with people living with stroke about becoming more active and building movement into everyday life.

Whether it’s helping someone take their first steps towards being more active or supporting them to stay moving, small changes can make a difference.
Move more, feel better. Every minute counts.

Linzi, our Active Communities Development officer for the St Austell area, was thrilled to attend the recent two-day Nature Connected Lives Conference at Eden Project which brought together cross-sector organisations and individuals to consider, discuss and debate the role of nature and the natural world on our health, wellbeing and local economy. Guest speakers included Dr William Bird from Intelligent Health (with whom we recently delivered Beat the Street in St Austell and Penzance), Helen Dodds from University of Exeter and David Domoney, horticulturist and TV presenter. “Exploring the reciprocal relationship between human and planetary health, the conference showcased, inspired and demonstrated how meaningful connections with nature can be” and resonates closely with our work in place with Sport England .

was introduced, encouraging attendees to spend at least 17 minutes a day in nature and green spaces (equating to the recommended 2 hours minimum a week), proven to make us feel calmer, happier and to boost our mood.
