Rejected petition Subsidised exercise for individuals struggling physically and mentally
Considering the forthcoming post pandemic world, I believe individuals will need more help than ever to increase their physical and mental well-being.
There are exercise referral programs in place but unfortunately this is only for council owned facilities. I feel individuals should have a choice.
More details
Whilst there is government backed support in place, I believe some individuals in our communities are missing important opportunities by no fault of their own.
Mental health conditions such as anxiety may prevent individuals from attending larger gyms, but if they had a choice to visit a private facility or if the gym could come to them, I trust they would be more likely to participate in physical exercise, which would not only improve mental health but decrease conditions such as Obesity also.
