Activity On Referral (AOR) is a countywide referral programme for inactive adults who are overweight or living with a health condition, AOR provides a positive introduction to active lifestyles.

Government guidelines recommend that adults should try to be active for at least 150 minutes per week. However, for some people, this is challenging, particularly if they are living with a health condition that can make it harder. Therefore, may need some extra support. This is where the AOR scheme can help.

AOR helps people to increase their levels of physical activity in a safe and structured environment. The service provides health screening; advice and access to exercise, led by highly qualified exercise professionals.

How does AOR work?

Any health professional such as your GP, practice nurse or social prescribing link worker can refer you on to the scheme. You can take part in the scheme at any of the AOR accredited facilities where a qualified exercise professional will prescribe a personal exercise programme for you.
