Welcome... Tackling physical and emotional health


WE know the powerful role that physical activity can play in enhancing mental health and wellbeing, but how well do we as a sector integrate the two when delivering services?


Live better for longer By 2030 it’s estimated the number of UK people aged 60 or more will reach 20 million, up 31 per cent from today’s figure. How is the fitness sector helping to get our ageing population moving?

For an example of somewhere that is doing this really well, head to Luton where Luton Borough Council and NHS Luton Clinical Commissioning Group have jointly commissioned a unique wellbeing service. (P10)


Launched last April, Total Wellbeing Luton is hailed as the first service of its kind that brings together social, physical and emotional wellbeing support into one integrated service.


The service works with more than 100 local organisations and stakeholder groups to ensure a holistic approach to health and wellbeing is available at a range of community locations.

Since its launch, Total Wellbeing Luton has supported 4,500 local residents to improve their physical and emotional health and wellbeing. It also helped to cut the waiting list for those accessing Talking Therapies in Luton by 75 per cent within the first six months of the service.


It’s early days, but Total Wellbeing Luton is already having a significant impact on the lives of local people and makes a compelling case for bridging the gap between physical and emotional health and wellbeing.
