Carers UK are about to launch their first Carers Active April campaign month! The month will raise awareness about the importance of physical activity and provide lots of opportunities for carers to be active. You’ll be supported and encouraged to take part in any activity that works for you, whether it be walking, jogging, yoga or some simple exercises around the home and garden.

By signing up to Carers Active April today you’ll receive:

  • A Carers Active April kickstarter pack 
  • Weekly online physical activity sessions throughout April
  • Helpful ideas, tips and links during the month.

Carers Active April will culminate in an online Healthathon event on Saturday 30 April, which is free and open to anyone to join. The first 500 people who sign up to Carers Active will also receive their own free exclusive Healthathon kit in the post, containing some exciting items to help with being active during the Healthathon and beyond. 

We have also compiled some useful ideas and information about local services and activities that can support you to maintain or improve your physical health including exercise, healthy eating and stopping smoking. Take a look at get yourself geared up for Active April.
