The aim of the Wellness Service within the city is to improve individual’s
health and well-being through the provision of physical activity opportunities,
lifestyle advice and education within Wellness Centres and in the community. The
key principles of the Wellness Service are to shift the balance from treatment
services to preventive measures and providing Wellness opportunities as an
alternative or support for treatment. As a result of a fully engaged scenario
with a range of key partners the service is reaching and impacting on the
individuals that are most in need and subsequently contributing to reducing the
inequalities that are so prevalent within Sunderland.
Through the development of programmes and interventions the Wellness Service is
targeting those individuals who are not yet engaged in physical activity,
ensuring there are a range of preventative services at a local level and
developing and delivering a number of new pathways for individuals to access
supportive programmes.
