Fit2Go is being delivered as part of Altogether Now – a legacy for Blackpool, the multi-partnership programme between the NHS in Blackpool (Clinical Commissioning Group and Teaching Hospitals Foundation Trust), Blackpool Football Club and Blackpool Council.
Funded by NHS Blackpool and the Premier League/Professional Footballers Association Community Fund, and delivered by Blackpool FC Community Trust, Fit2Go involves a range of activities delivered in school and community settings to young people and their families.
Fit2Go is currently being delivered to every primary school in Blackpool. Year 4 pupils are receiving a programme of increased physical activity and health education that includes:
• Healthy lifestyle classroom based sessions
• Physical activity sessions organised around the school day
• Extracurricular sessions taking place at school
• Family health workshops
• Free out of school community based physical activity sessions
• Fit2Go celebration festivals and quizzes at Bloomfield Road
• With appearances from Players and Blackpool FC goodies
A 50 page workbook has been produced to support the classroom sessions. The workbook has been given the full backing of Blackpool FC players as well as the club’s infamous mascot, Bloomfield Bear, all of whom you are able to see throughout the book and on the Fit2Go Facebook page.
Fit2Go aims to encourage children to live a healthy lifestyle, take part in regular exercise and to join in with local sports clubs and community programmes which will ultimately improve their overall health and wellbeing.
As well as the delivery of Fit2Go in schools the programme includes free weekly sports sessions, at community venues across Blackpool, for young people aged 7-11 to take part in.
