Our ‘Get Started’ with Healthy Shetland programme is a population wide healthy lifestyle programme delivered in partnership with Shetland Recreational Trust (SRT). It’s bespoke to Shetland, in that it’s written, delivered and evaluated locally. We focus on improving a wide range of healthy habits covering diet, activity, weight, sleep, mood and more!
The programme is run within your local leisure centre and runs for 12 months, meeting fortnightly initially and less frequently as the year progresses. When we meet, you will attend a 45-minute education session around healthy lifestyle followed by 45 minutes of physical activity supported by the leisure centre staff.
We currently have groups running in both Lerwick and Brae, with plans to run groups in other areas later in the year. If you are interested in joining the Get Started groups, please complete our Referral Form and a member of our team will be in touch when we start screening for the next round of 2025 groups.
