New campaign launched to encourage Somerset residents to get back outdoors
A new project has been launched to help people gain confidence to get back outdoors and to move more.
The ‘Get Outside in Somerset’ project is a joint initiative from Somerset Activity and Sport Partnership (SASP), The Community Council for Somerset (CCS), Spark Somerset, and Somerset Wildlife Trust, funded by Somerset County Council Public Health.
Being outside brings huge benefits for physical and mental health, but for a large majority of people, the Covid-19 pandemic has created many barriers to getting outside. It has seen an unprecedented disruption to people’s lives and has had an impact on people’s engagement in physical activity.
