Free training available for physical activity providers

Supporting people to age actively is more important now than ever.

Recent insight shows that the pandemic has impacted everyone hard, with older or more vulnerable people included in this.

This is why Active Norfolk are offering free training to all physical activity providers to help them engage and motivate adults in activity as they age.

These training sessions are free and open to anyone who works within the physical activity sector.

By registering for a session, you will take part in a 90 minute virtual interactive training session led by PURE Training and Development. During this session, the following topics will be covered:

• Physical activity trends and ageing

• Marketing, imagery and how you communicate with this target audience
