All Move in Erewash

Creating a fairer experience for those with a long-term condition or disability.

In Erewash there are around 10,000 inactive adults living with a long term condition, limiting illness or disability.

All Move In Erewash is a project, which aims to create a fairer experience for people living with a long-term condition or disability.

We work with partners and stakeholders to understand how to create inclusive and accessible opportunities to enable people to move every day.

We are keen to hear the voices of people with lived experience so that we can provide the tools that you need to move more each day.

Moving more

However you choose to move, it’s all good for your health and wellbeing. Try building activity into your day, like taking the stairs and walking more.

The benefits of physical activity outweigh the risks. Regular physical activity, along with standard medical care, is important for managing and preventing many long-term conditions.

Those who are least active stand to benefit the most in terms of their health and happiness by getting active.

Information for professionals

If your role involves working with adults in Erewash, it is likely that you are supporting someone with a long term condition, limiting illness or disability.

We all have a role to play in enabling people to move more to benefit their health and wellbeing. It can be hard to know where to start, which is why we have an AMIE network for professionals to share their knowledge, understand more about living with a long term condition or disability and develop skills to have meaningful conversations with people about physical activity.

Events

AMIE network meetings are held in-person (alternating between Ilkeston and Long Eaton) once every quarter and AMIE updates are circulated amongst the network. A summary of the meeting outcomes so far can be found at: Making Our Move.

Resources

A new signposting resource has been developed to support people in Erewash to find ways to move that works for them. This is available to download to download at:
