REFERRALS & SIGN UP
Welcome to Community Active & Wellbeing CIC. We provide friendly, inclusive and professionally led physical activity sessions to support health, confidence, fitness and wellbeing across our local community. Our sessions are suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities, including people who are new to exercise, returning after time away, or managing long-term health conditions.
To make joining as simple as possible, we offer two ways to get started. Please choose the option that best describes you.
WHICH OPTION SHOULD I CHOOSE?
SELF-REFERRAL (INDIVIDUALS)
PROFESSIONAL REFERRAL (HEALTH & SUPPORT PROFESSIONALS)
Choose Self-Referral if you are joining for yourself (or supporting a family member or friend to join). This is the quickest route and allows you to complete the steps online at a time that suits you.
Benefits of self-referral:
-
Fast and simple sign-up
-
You can choose and book sessions directly
-
Ideal if you are motivated to get started straight away
-
Helps you take control of your health and wellbeing journey
Things to be aware of:
-
You will need to complete a short Health Declaration Form before your first session
-
If you answer “YES” to certain health questions, we may ask you to seek medical advice before starting, or we may recommend adapted options for safety
Choose Professional Referral if you are a GP, NHS clinician, social prescribing link worker, support worker, charity, or community professional referring someone into our sessions. This route is designed to support individuals who may benefit from extra guidance, encouragement, or a more supported start.
Benefits of professional referral:
-
Provides additional context about the participant’s needs and goals
-
Helpful for individuals living with long-term health conditions, reduced confidence, or mobility barriers
-
Allows us to better prepare and offer appropriate support from the start
-
Helps strengthen partnership working between services and community provision
Things to be aware of:
-
A referee email is required to share basic details (with consent)
-
The participant will still need to complete our Health Declaration Form and sign up/book their session before attending.
NOT SURE WHICH OPTION TO CHOOSE?
If you are unsure, choose Self-Referral if you are signing up for yourself, or choose Professional Referral if you are referring someone as part of your role.
