Minutes:
This item was introduced by the Area Council Manager, who explained that approval is sought to commission five more sessions of the Fit Reds programme at a cost of £19,000 which is the same cost as last year. It was felt that the focus needs to be not just on football training, but also circuit training as this would be of wider appeal. Another Member expressed the view that the Fit Reds programme was the single most effective health intervention for men in the Borough. Discussion regarding the ‘Fit Me’ initiative was deferred to the next meeting.
RESOLVED that
(i) The Area Council Manager establish if circuit training forms part of the programme, and
(ii) The North East Area Council approve further funding for the Fit Reds programme at a cost of £19,000.
