COMMUNITY PHYSICAL ACTIVITY ORGANISERS
Community Physical Activity Organisers (CPAOs) focus on being active as one of the 5 Ways to Wellbeing. They work with people who aren't currently active to find new opportunities to move more as part of their daily lives. This can include:
-
connecting people to the community and opportunities to be more active, in ways which work for them
-
working in Exeter's local neighbourhoods with residents, groups and networks to support physical activity ideas to get off the ground, grow and keep going.
If you would like to find out more, pop along to one of their local activities. If you have an idea you'd like to discuss or would like to find out more about their work, get in touch with your local CPAO on social media.
"It was really good to be able to be outside and do something new."
Check out Live & Move who are working for a happier, healthier and more active Exeter and Cranbrook and sharing different ways to move more in our day-to-day lives - because extra movement supports our overall health and wellbeing on so many levels.

Introduce you to an activity group, including going with you at first if you’d like.

Connect you to other people, groups, organisations and services.

Support and help you develop your ideas for activities.
-
Share information about being more active in the community you live in.
"I really enjoyed the adventurous walk up the hill and to see view down the valley towards the sea."
-
Support group work, which creates a safe space for people to come together to form an activity group, and to build social connections.
