Falls Prevention

Courses for people at risk of falling and have been referred from Stay Steady physiotherapy clinics.

Story Trails

Joining up health and arts so children and their families can be active through exploring a curated series of stop points along a dedicated ‘Story Trail’. The trails are designed to encourage playfulness, fun and interaction with the outdoor space. Move More has partnered with Cardiff Council’s Child Friendly City team to expand the number of Story trails across green spaces in the city. To find out the locations of the trails click here.
