Some background information Following funding from the Communities for Health programme (Department of Health), Preston City Council and SANAC have developed a scheme whereby two avenues of accessing the subsidised programme can be achieved:
i) Communities for Health Client for the Local Community
ii) Communities for Health Client Exercise Your Options (EYO)
For the local community resident, business or organisation a period of 6 months at a substantially reduced rate (£6 per month) will be applicable with all those who complete 45 sessions during this period will be entitled to a bonus 3 months subsidised period. Those who meet the EYO criteria will be entitled to a 3-month subsidised membership followed by a low-cost membership subsidy for a further 6 month period.
The scheme is designed to benefit those living and working in Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF) areas of Preston. The NRF has been available from 2001 to 88 Local Authorities in England which have the highest levels of deprivation according to the Indices of Multiple Deprivation 2000. The Neighbourhood Renewal Fund must help to implement Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategies which aim to improve quality of life in the most deprived neighbourhoods.
