Staying Active during coronavirus
Updated 10 September 2020
Self-quarantining and new government measures have now meant that many individuals and families across Derbyshire now need to look at alternative ways of getting physical exercise.
As a team and a wider community, we're trying to build activity into our day as much as possible, and supporting those around us to be active in a way that suits them.
We have gathered the below resources to help those looking for ideas on how to stay active during this period.

Reaching out
