Green Prescription (GRx)
Green Prescription is a SPARC funded programme aimed at getting more people physically active.

For adults anyone over the age of 18 who participates in no or very low amounts of physical activity.
What can Green Prescription do for you?
- Inform you of the types of physical activity available
- Provide a support network
- Give you the opportunity to participate in physical activity
How long does it take?
A Green prescription will go for 3 months. If it takes a little longer participants can re-sign for a further term.
