The national programme is working with partners to develop a series of innovative‚ new educational materials on physical activity‚ well-being and healthy eating for people aged over 50‚ volunteers‚ careers and professionals.

Across the five year period‚ the programme will produce:

  • new physical activity and exercise DVDs for people over 50, produced by national partners including the Keep Fit Association and Exercise, Movement and Dance Partnership (EMDP)
  • good practice guides aimed at focussed topic areas, developed by fit as a fiddle and partners including the National Association for the Providers of Activities to Older People (NAPA) and Blood Pressure Association
  • a bank of positive and diverse photographic images that can be used regionally and nationally as part of the fit as a fiddle programme‚ produced in partnership with national and regional projects
  • web-based materials to increase awareness among older people and professionals of the importance of physical activity and well-being‚ and to showcase the work of fit as a fiddle‚ developed by the national team
  • CD presentations that organisations can use to highlight good practice when working on physical activity and well-being among older people‚ developed by the national team
  • leaflets on physical activity‚ healthy eating and well-being aimed at specific groups (older men‚ people with high blood pressure and people living in residential care)‚ developed by BPA and other organisations 

These new information materials will be distributed throughout the country to provide resources for individuals and local organisations.
