Go4Life is a North Somerset scheme set up to encourage
and support people to live healthier and more active lives, whilst
creating an instantly recognised brand associated with healthy
and active living in North Somerset.
It is run by the
North
Somerset Partnership, which is made up of
members from across the public, voluntary, community and business
sectors.
Physical activity and pursuing an active lifestyle has real
benefits, not only to the health and wellbeing of individuals but
also for local communities and society as a whole.
These benefits are widely acknowledged to include:
- health - the prevention, treatment and management of a range of
health conditions in all age groups
- mental health - reduced risk of depression and anxiety with
enhanced mood and self-esteem
- reducing crime and anti-social behaviour through diversionary
and purposeful activity, particularly among young people and in
areas of high social deprivation
- community benefits in terms of improved social cohesion and
increased levels of interaction
- benefits for society as a whole resulting from all the
above and the consequent reduced demands on health, social care and
other public services
