Active Charnwood started off the year with a bang and were announced as the first ‘Site of the month’ for 2024. Active Charnwood were recognised for their work with Leicestershire County Council and Active Together delivering the ESCAPE-pain programme; “I found ESCAPE-pain really beneficial. The physiotherapists and facilitator were extremely supportive and encouraging. It gave me more insight into my problem, the importance of exercise and the courage to attempt more. I continue to attend other sessions since ESCAPE-pain to hopefully delay the need for hip surgery”.

Fantastic to see their pilot is going so well and hearing the positive feedback, especially a potential delay in surgery, we cant wait for the final results.
