Active April
New campaign to help carers get active
Do you want to get more active? It can be hard as a carer, but Carers UK’s Active April gives you support to take those first steps.
Active April
The new ‘Active April’ campaign is a month to raise awareness about the importance of physical activity and provide lots of opportunities for carers to be active.
You’ll be supported and encouraged to take part in any activity that works for you, whether it be walking, jogging, yoga or some simple exercises around the home and garden.
Even a little movement can make a big difference to how you feel.
Active in Surrey
And at Action for Carers we offer free activities and events to help you keep active: from our mindfulness and yoga sessions to visits to places like Hampton Court where you can walk around the grounds, getting your heart rate up but also enjoying the beautiful settings. You can see all our events, including active ones, here.

I like being active and know I should do as much as I can for my health and wellbeing. I fit in classes or walks when I can plus do lots of gardening when it’s warm enough get mum in the garden with me.
