Posted by Peter

The Big Lottery Fund has completed the evaluation of its Wellbeing programme, and has comer up with some useful guidance on what works.

"The more effective projects made exercise fun, either by embedding it in another activity, such as gardening, or presenting it as a socialising opportunity".

A helpful summary, and links to the main report, are here:
