Get Started Programme

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 are evaluating and developing the programme further at the moment and currently do not have dates for 2024. However, if you are interested in joining the Get Started groups, please complete our Referral Form and we will keep you updated on future delivery plans.
