Active Sefton Ambassador’s

Posted by Active Sefton on April 8, 2008 10:41 AM

Active Sefton have recently introduced a new addition to the Active Sefton Referral Programme known as ‘The Active Sefton Ambassador Scheme’, a volunteer programme which involves clients who have successfully completed and experienced the Referral Programme providing extra support to those currently on or about to begin the journey.

With all centres now participating including Dunes Leisure Centre, Litherland Sports Park, Netherton Activity Centre and Bootle Leisure Centre, we anticipate that this new initiative will provide Active Sefton patients with the additional social support, motivation and encouragement to enable them to reach their full potential and succeed on the programme. With Ambassadors being shining examples of what patients can achieve, it is thought that by sharing their experiences and demonstrating the benefits of physical activity, patients are more likely to feel that they have somebody who they can relate to, and as a result will want to commit to reap the same rewards. Also, as the Ambassadors are volunteering in their local centre during our Active Sefton sessions, it gives a real sense of community cohesion, with local residents getting involved to help improve the health and well being of their community.
Gina Lewis, Support Officer for the Active Sefton Referral Team said: ‘There has been a real difference to the Active Sefton sessions since the introduction of the Ambassadors. As they have experienced ill-health in the past and are showing vast improvements due to the benefits of physical activity, they are a real inspiration to those patients just beginning on the programme’

As the demand for the Referral Programme and the popularity of the group activity sessions continue to grow, we will be encouraging more volunteers to come forward to join us in the development of a healthier community.

If you require any more information regarding the Active Sefton Referral Programme or the Active Ambassador Scheme, please contact the Active Sefton Team on 0151 934 2352.

Early risers who use the gym at Litherland Sports Park are in for a treat from the end of March as the facility will open its doors on Mondays and Fridays at 7am.
The fantastic state of the art facility has become tremendously popular over the last year with hundreds of members signing up and from Monday 31st March there will be no need to wait until after work for your workout as Litherland will commence the ‘Early Bird’ sessions.

Senior Operations Manager, Mike Woodruff stated, "More and more people are keen to have a workout early in the morning, setting them up for the day and we at Litherland are always looking to meet customers demands"

Thanks to a vote amongst the users of the gym at Litherland, the most popular days of Monday and Friday have been chosen. And this may only be the beginning as Lynn Atkinson, Fitness Manager at Litherland explains, "We are confident that our Early Bird sessions will prove very popular and if this proves the case, we will look to add more sessions in the future"
