RESIDENTS are being asked to help draw up a database of physical activities on offer across Hambleton and Richmondshire for people with health problems.

The survey will ask if people know of activities on offer for those with heart disease, diabetes, arthritis or who have suffered strokes.

Also included in the survey will be those people suffering mental health or weight problems, pregnant women, older people and those with disabilities.

The two district councils and the primary care trust have appointed a physical activity co-ordinator, Emma Percival.

She said: "We want to know what is currently going on so we can celebrate and promote that good work."

The survey must be completed by September 16. For details, contact Ms Percival on (01609) 767149.
